The City of Edinburgh is considering several urban development choices under the City Plan 2030. These options focus on delivering new homes and infrastructure in ways that balance the need for housing with sustainability and community integration. Here are the key approaches being discussed:
| Option Number | Description | Estimated Units | Infrastructure Needs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Option 1 | Delivery by the Council within the Urban Area | 17,600 | Significant changes required for schools, healthcare, and transport. |
| Option 2 | Delivery through market housing on Greenfield land | 27,900 | Requires new infrastructure for schools, healthcare, and transport. |
| Option 3 | A mixed approach from urban area and Greenfield land | Approx. 11,000 + 6,600 | Increased urban delivery with new infrastructure needs. |
These options reflect a variety of strategies aimed at improving Edinburgh's housing situation while minimizing environmental impact and maintaining quality of life for residents.
