CMLC is Calgary's go-to placemaker for urban redevelopment.
Our passionate, experienced placemaking brings new energy to old neighbourhoods, creates credibility and confidence, and inspires communities to build, grow, and believe.
Being in a position to make a tangible difference in the way a rich and growing city looks, feels and thinks about itself is a very interesting place to be. CMLC is in that enviable position. It is in the business of community redevelopment, and its job is making places. Where others see empty lots, dilapidated buildings, homeless souls and contaminated soils, CMLC looks at the same terrain with the passionate zeal of the place maker and sees ground in which to plant fresh seeds and new life, opportunities for rejuvenation and revitalization.
CMLC is, in a way, a product of a new political will: an organization with the entrepreneur's fire for making things happen and finding innovative new ways to do so. CMLC has a very real, pressing mandate, a perfect storm of opportunity and challenge, something to prove: bring the city's most neglected neighbourhood to life, and make it part of the city again. By extension, CMLC could become the spark that will ignite a movement in downtown living and substantially change the way Calgarians think about and live in the city.
