Calgary recorded 220 in-scope development filings in 1988, level with 1987. That makes it the 41st busiest of the 48 year years in the record.
Of those, 25 were development permit applications, 0 were building permits and 195 were land use redesignations — applications to change what may lawfully be built on a site.
The largest single class of proposal was land development, on 195 filings. Asset class is this platform's reading of the City's own category and description fields, not a published field.
As the City's records stand today, 19 of that year's filings show a permit issued and 28 are closed — withdrawn, cancelled or expired. Those are current statuses, not the position at the time.
What this record does not establish
- No source published unit counts or construction values for enough 1988 filings to total.
- These are counts of filings, which are proposals put to the City. They do not measure what was built — no source in this corpus observes construction.
- Only commercially significant filings are counted. Single homes, secondary suites, home occupations, signs and routine relaxations are excluded, so these totals are much smaller than the raw dataset.
- Declared construction values are applicant-stated at application: not audited, not adjusted for inflation, and not a measure of money spent.
- Calgary states that permits from 1979 to 2000 come from a legacy system and are more likely to be incomplete or missing, so this year is probably undercounted.
Sources for every claim
How these numbers were arrived at
Counted over every in-scope filing in the acquired corpus. Each underlying record is a municipal application with its own page and source link; the count is arithmetic over them.
That makes every figure in this brief evidence class C — derived from class A municipal records by a documented method — rather than class A. No single municipal field states a total; the corpus states it by counting, and each record counted has its own page and source link. Browse them from the record.

4 claims · 0 uncitedEvery sentence this brief asserts, with what backs it. A claim may rest on an extracted fact, on a municipal field read directly off the record, or on a documented derivation over a stated population — and on nothing else.
