Supporting the evolution of our single-detached neighbourhoods can be daunting, so we’ve created a space where local government planners can tackle these collective challenges together.
The Gentle Density Network is an open space to catalyze the evolution of single-detached neighbourhoods that provide ground-oriented homes, equitable for all. There will be opportunities to collaborate with other local government planners, learn about new resources, and attend webinars.

Gentle Density Network: Webinar Series
The Gentle Density Network brings planners and related professionals together to learn and share experiences that will enable greater uptake of gentle density.
Curious about how other communities are crafting changes to their Zoning Bylaw to bring in small-scale multi-unit housing (SSMUH)? We’ll be featuring leading communities over a series of Gentle Density Network “chew and chat” virtual sessions where you’ll get both a presentation from a planner sharing their community’s approach, as well as an opportunity for open conversation with planners from across the province about the current challenges and approaches to bringing in SSMUH zoning and other related legislation.
We’re offering four of these bite-sized GDN sessions in the lead up to the province’s June 30th bylaw adoption due date.
City of Kelowna: Bylaw Updates & SSMUH
April 18, 2024 ~12:05 – 12:55 pm
On Thursday, April 18, Adam Cseke from the City of Kelowna will present about the bylaw updates Kelowna has brought forward to align with the Province’s legislation. Adam is a senior urban planner with over a decade of experience at the City of Kelowna, which has been on the leading edge of gentle density for several years.
After the presentation, stay for 20 minutes of candid conversation with your colleagues from around the province. Help start the conversation by submitting a burning (anonymous) question for your colleagues to chew on during the candid conversation after the presentation
*Registration is limited, and reserved for community planners and related staff working within First Nations, municipal, and regional governments.
