67% Informative

Calgary 's edge cities like Airdrie , Okotoks, Chestermere and Cochrane are all growing faster than Calgary .

Suburban sprawl has defined city building in North America since Day 1 .

Urbanists call this urban sprawl, but a better term would be suburban sprawl.

Most Calgarians are OK if most of their weekly needs are within a 15-minute drive.

Airdrie ( 85,805 ) is Calgary ’s largest edge city.

Cochrane ( 37,011 ) is a perfect place to live for anyone who works in the northwest as it is an easy commute.

Okotoks (population 37,550 ) is my favourite edge city with its quaint downtown that includes cafes and restaurants, a public art gallery in its historic train station.
