| Abstract: |
The article focuses on the ongoing construction boom in Calgary, highlighting significant growth in housing starts and infrastructure projects driven by rapid population increases. Over the past five years, Calgary's population has grown by over 250,000, leading to heightened demand for residential and commercial developments. Despite the positive momentum, challenges such as a shortage of skilled trades workers persist, impacting the construction sector's ability to meet demand. The city is also investing heavily in infrastructure improvements, with a budget of $3.8 billion for 2026, aimed at enhancing the living and working environment in Calgary.
