Historical comparisonBounded by what this platform has acquired.

The R-1 record measured across records acquired from 2009 to 2023. This is not a statement about all development in Calgary — only about what these sources publish and what this platform retained. Redesignation counts cover the whole acquired corpus; filing counts and modifier medians cover the browsable slice only. They measure different populations. Calgary land use redesignation applications from 1982 and development permits from 1979.
