Partners in Planning will host Built Form Evolution: Case Studies in Marda Loop on Sunday, June 22nd. Don't miss this interactive walking tour that will explore how zoning rules, planning policies, and urban design guidelines shape the built environment in Calgary’s residential neighbourhoods. #YYC
