Calgary city council greenlights Chinatown cultural and redevelopment plan
A plan to help guide development while aiming to preserve culture and history in Calgary’s Chinatown has been approved by city council.
The cultural plan and area redevelopment plan are expected to serve as as a culturally-informed guide for future developments, improved streetscapes and park space.According to Wong, future development and architecture would respect Chinatown as a “cultural enclave” and include an articulation of Asian motif while intersections and curbs will be reflective of how the Chinatown community uses those spaces.
Lam spent many years volunteering in Chinatown, from helping seniors with translation and connecting them with social services, to educating Calgarians of the history in the community. Calgary’s mayor was absent from council for the vote, but released a statement in support of the plan.
