Abstract
The Human Footprint Comparison project was the primary effort under the Ecological Data Update. The intent was to create a spatially-explicit representation of the land use and natural features in the Calgary Region around a set of pre-determined themes. The Human Footprint Comparison focused on the goal of showing the changes in human use and development on the landscape between the first Calgary Metropolitan Plan (2009) and the second (2014). The intent was not to assess the “good” or the “bad” of that hange, but simply give the CRP and its members a databased picture of how and where development occurred between the two plans which could then be compared to the goals that had been set out in the plans.
