Winnipeg Metropolitan Region has prepared Plan 2050 as a 30-year blueprint focusing on five key themes to ensure communities can succeed together when faced with complex and interdependent issues such as jobs and transportation, one environment, infrastructure and service needs. A first regional plan, the approach is collaborative and focuses on building strong communities, sharing data that will be central to understanding the region’s progress, and sharing solutions. This session will explore how the unique experiences in the Winnipeg Metro Region have been captured with emphasis on global priorities. Building on best practice and local leadership, this plan sets out a regional approach to planning that will benefit others interested in a strong economy, resiliency, sustainability, and Indigenous engagement in a regional plan.
