Our Camrose, Our Future: Downtown Urban Design Framework

Revitalize, Rediscover, Reimagine.

The City of Camrose is developing an Urban Design Framework (UDF) to help shape the future of our downtown. Building on the Downtown Area Redevelopment Plan (DARP) adopted in 2019, the UDF will provide a clear vision, goals, and design principles to guide how new development, renovations, and public spaces take shape in the heart of our community.

This framework will ensure that downtown Camrose continues to grow as a cohesive, attractive, functional, and livable urban environment—one that respects our heritage and character while supporting new opportunities for business, housing, and community life.

The UDF will serve as a roadmap for decision-making, helping builders, developers, business owners, and City staff align projects with the community’s vision. Most importantly, it will be informed by the people who live, work, and invest in Camrose.

Stay tuned for opportunities to engage. Your voice will play a key role in shaping how our downtown looks and feels in the future.
