Strong Towns Calgary's Tuesday Talk Time

​There have been lots of numbers flying around in the media about infrastructure costs, tax increase scenarios, and city budgets.

​Come learn and discuss fresh community-level analysis showing how communities vary widely in the amount of taxes are paid versus the area-weighted share of the city budget. What really drives tax productivity?

​Time permitting, we can also learn more about recent infrastructure reports, showing:

• ​$54 billion is needed over the next 10 years (and how much of that is roads and pipes)

• ​$27 billion of that is unfunded, and

• ​We have $20.8 billion worth of infrastructure in poor or very poor condition.
