State of Growth:

The Edmonton Metropolitan Region is calling.

We’re attracting talent, investors and job creators to place their big bets here!

At $107B in GDP, and a current population of 1.5 million, up 2.5% from the previous year, we are the fifth largest economy, and the second-fastest growing Region in Canada. 

Projections suggest that over the next 25 to 30 years, our population is expected to increase by approximately one million, and with it, add 470K more jobs. Our Region is on the cusp of transformative change, and we cannot leave it to chance alone.

The State of Growth: Creating a Competitive Region report, released in June 2023, provides a regional snapshot of land development trends, demographic profiles, and analysis around four themes – people and housing, economic competitiveness and employment, land use and development opportunities, and quality of life.

The report was co-produced by the EMRB and the Urban Development Institute (UDI) - Edmonton Metro, and informed by municipalities and developers from across the Edmonton Metropolitan Region.
