Data planning resources

The foundation to evaluating land use decisions is information. Planners, municipalities and other stakeholders interesting in land use planning rely on data to complete or implement land use or regional plans.

Here are sources of data from Alberta that are useful for land use and data planning. Select a category to refine the land use datasets by topic.

If there is an Alberta dataset not on the list, contact us to submit any relevant data or map.
