The Municipal Development Plan and the Calgary Transportation Plan both aim to build high-density complete communities linked by good transit (City of Calgary, 2014). Further improvement of public transport by innovative policy tools could be considered, including community buses or small and shared vehicles operated by the local community to respond to demand for shorter trips. Those demands cannot always be served by conventional public transport systems, but use of the most up-to-date technology could provide a solution in the future. Affordable housing in an accessible environment has been a major policy objective for many cities over the long term. The suggested approach by type of city is almost applicable to all types of cities, however, some key messages that each type of city could bear in mind of relatively high importance compared to other types are as follows: Types II (young cities, ageing rapidly) and III (young cities, ageing slowly) cities are encouraged to learn from the experiences of Type I cities how to integrate policies for affordable housing policies in an accessible environment with other policy strategies, such as urban redevelopment and public transport.
