Downtown Planning
Downtown Winnipeg is the entertainment, cultural and economic heart of our city and our window to the world. Downtown fulfills many functions for our growing city. It has the largest employment concentration with the City's highest density office development, complemented by a strong service and retail component. It offers the broadest range of unique arts, entertainment, tourism, and cultural opportunities and the City's most significant heritage amenities. It is emerging as an important high-density, mixed-use residential community with both long-standing and emerging neighbourhoods. Downtown is also the focal point for the city's multi-modal transportation network (Excerpt from Complete Communities, an OurWinnipeg Direction Strategy).
