A Small Towne in the City

With its pedestrian friendly design, classic small town architecture, landmark community buildings and a thriving main street business centre, McKenzie Towne in southeast Calgary has been called a pioneer of new urbanism.

Recognized by the Urban Land Institute as one of 26 exceptionally planned communities world-wide, McKenzie Towne uses time-honoured urban planning techniques in a new world suburban development. An eclectic mix of housing, tree-lined boulevards, back lane garages and wide front porches are just a few of the community’s small-town inspired touches.
