Complete Communities Direction Strategy 2.0

The Complete Communities Direction Strategy 2.0 (CCDS 2.0) is our plan for a more vibrant city. It reflects what Winnipeggers and research told us. And it aligns with our sustainable development goals. The plan envisions Winnipeg having a lot of housing and jobs, different ways to get around, and lots of fun things to do.

As projected in CCDS 2.0, by 2040, Winnipeg will grow by more than 160,000 people, add more than 83,000 new jobs, and include 82,000 new homes. To make sure we grow in the best way possible, Complete Communities has three key directions:

  • Setting a goal that at least 50 percent of all new homes will be built in existing parts of the city. We will do this by making infill development easier to build and desirable to live in.
  • Encouraging homes and jobs to be located near transit service so it's easier to get around without a vehicle.
  • Planning new neighbourhoods so we know what infrastructure is needed to support them, and when.

Complete Communities does a lot of other things, too. It plans for a more vibrant downtown, protects industrial areas, and helps make sure everyday needs are close by. And with a focus on implementation, Complete Communities is real and achievable. 

How areas change

Complete Communities Direction Strategy 2.0 is designed on an urban structure. The map represents the City’s vision for development and growth within the city.

The urban structure also describes how places may change. In 20 years, some areas may look different, while others will build on existing strengths.
