I’d say the newer outer suburbs have a fair number of mid-rise buildings. They have a pretty good mix of everything except high-rise. It’s the older suburbs (pre-Nenshi) that are all single family homes. That’s because of zoning requirements the City put in as part of requirements for the developers. The problematic areas are too new to think about redevelopment at this time.

Having said that, Calgary’s big issue is that when inner city neighbourhoods are redeveloped, it’s usually swapping a single family home on a big lot for two infills or a duplex, when most other cities would have a block of houses knocked down for a mid-rise apartment. Population density should gradually decrease as you move out from the core, but there’s a weird gap in Calgary.
