Biografie

Planning activities began in Calgary with the establishment of the Calgary City Planning Commission by a resolution of Council in 1911 November. The Commission was to serve as an advisory of board to Council and was mandated to "obtain data and information on the subject of town planning and to prepare and recommend a comprehensive and exhaustive scheme of City Planning."[1] The Commission recommended that a professional planner be hired to prepare a town plan and as a result, Thomas Mawson was retained as City Planner on 1913 January 20, for the sum of $6,000.00. A preliminary plan was presenter in 1914 April, but World War I, 1914-1918 intervened and it was abandoned. Under the Mawson plan, Calgary would have embarked on a grandiose and expensive program of development, creating a city that is much different from what is familiar today. Having completed the task for which they had been appointed, the Commission dissolved after the presentation of the Mawson Report.
