La Región Metropolitana de Edmonton ( EMR ), también conocida comúnmente como la Región de la Capital de Alberta , Greater Edmonton o Metro Edmonton , es un conglomerado de municipios centrados en la capital provincial de Alberta , Edmonton .

Los límites comúnmente conocidos de la EMR coinciden con los del área metropolitana del censo de Edmonton (CMA) según lo delineado por Statistics Canada . Sin embargo, sus límites se definen de manera diferente para los propósitos administrativos de la Junta de la Región Metropolitana de Edmonton. [2]

El EMR se considera una puerta de entrada importante al norte de Alberta y al norte de Canadá, en particular para muchas empresas, incluidas las aerolíneas y la exploración de petróleo / gas natural. Ubicado en el centro de Alberta y en el extremo norte del corredor Calgary-Edmonton , el EMR es el área metropolitana más septentrional de Canadá .

Edmonton CMA [ editar ]

El CMA de Edmonton incluye las siguientes 35 subdivisiones del censo (municipios o equivalentes de municipio): [3]

  • seis ciudades ( Beaumont , Edmonton , Fort Saskatchewan , Leduc , St. Albert y Spruce Grove );
  • un municipio especializado ( condado de Strathcona , que incluye el área de servicio urbano de Sherwood Park );
  • tres distritos municipales ( condado de Leduc , condado de Parkland y condado de Sturgeon );
  • diez ciudades ( Bon Accord , Bruderheim , Calmar , Devon , Gibbons , Legal , Morinville , Redwater , Thorsby y Stony Plain );
  • tres pueblos ( Spring Lake , Wabamun y Warburg );
  • ocho pueblos de verano ( Betula Beach , Golden Days , Itaska Beach , Kapasiwin , Lakeview , Point Alison , Seba Beach y Sundance Beach ); y
  • cuatro reservas indias para tres Primeras Naciones ( Alexander 134 de la Primera Nación Alexander , la Nación Enoch Cree 135 de la Nación Enoch Cree y Wabamun 133A y 133B de la Primera Nación Paul ).

La CMA de Edmonton es la CMA más grande de Canadá por área con 9.426,73 km 2 (3.639,68 millas cuadradas). [4] En el censo de 2016 , tenía una población de 1.321.426, lo que la convierte en la sexta CMA más grande de Canadá por población. [5] La CMA de Edmonton comprende la mayor parte de la División No. 11 de Statistics Canada en Alberta.

Etnia [ editar ]

Junta de la Región Metropolitana de Edmonton [ editar ]

A fragmentation in regional cooperation and partnership has long played a divisive role within the EMR. Particularly, Edmonton was frustrated that its surrounding municipalities were receiving an increased tax base for major industrial development, while not contributing to Edmonton's burden to maintain and build new infrastructure within Edmonton used by the residents and businesses of the surrounding municipalities.

After pulling out of the Alberta Capital Region Alliance (ACRA), Edmonton lobbied the provincial government to establish some form of regional government that would be more effective in fostering regional cooperation between it and its surrounding municipalities. As a result, Premier Ed Stelmach announced in December 2007 that a governing board would be established for Edmonton's Capital Region.[6] Four months later, the Capital Region Board was formed on April 15, 2008 with the passing of the Capital Region Board Regulation by Order in Council 127/2008 under the authority of the Municipal Government Act.[7] On October 26, 2017,[8] the Capital Region Board (CRB) was renamed to the Edmonton Metropolitan Region Board (EMRB).[9]

Member municipalities[edit]

The CRB was originally established with 25 participating or member municipalities[10] – 23 of which were within the Edmonton CMA and two of which were outside the CMA (Lamont County and the Town of Lamont).[2] The number of member municipalities was reduced to 24 on September 10, 2010[11] after the Village of New Sarepta dissolved to hamlet status under the jurisdiction of Leduc County on September 1, 2010.[12] Concurrent with the CRB's name change to the EMRB in October 2017, municipal membership decreased from 24 to 13 to include only those municipalities with a population of 5,000 or more.[13]

More specifically, the EMRB includes:[13]

  • six cities (Beaumont, Edmonton, Fort Saskatchewan, Leduc, St. Albert, and Spruce Grove);
  • one specialized municipality (Strathcona County, which includes the Sherwood Park urban service area);
  • three municipal districts (Leduc County, Parkland County, and Sturgeon County); and
  • three towns (Devon, Morinville, and Stony Plain).

Edmonton Metropolitan Region Growth Plan[edit]

Under the CRB Regulation, the CRB was tasked with preparing a growth plan to cover land use, intermunicipal transit, housing, and geographic information services components.[14] In March, 2010, Growing Forward: The Capital Region Growth Plan (CRGP), consisting of individual plans for these four components and two addenda, was approved by the Government of Alberta.[15]

The CRGP includes a population and employment forecast for the Capital Region. With a base population of 1.12 million in 2009, the CRB has forecasted the population of the Capital Region to reach 1.31 million by 2019.[16] However, the 2019 population estimate was reached and exceeded by 2014.[17] The CRGP also designates priority growth areas and cluster country residential areas within the Capital Region.[18]

At the moment, two more major industrial areas are in the final stages of establishment. The establishment of the Horse Hills industrial area in northeast Edmonton is in the final planning stages, while Edmonton Airports is currently planning its inland port development under the Port Alberta initiative at the Edmonton International Airport within Leduc County.
