The Coalition for Better Infill is a network of citizens from across Edmonton who are deeply concerned about the city’s de-regulation of the infill development industry.
Our supporters include planners, architects, and engineers; environmentalists and builders; community organizers, entrepreneurs, seniors and young families.
Better Infill is run by volunteers and funded by donations.
