With Saint John's draft municipal plan up for public review, the focus is on developing the city's urban core.
Jacqueline Hamilton with Plan SJ says so far, local developers have cautiously supported the plan.
Hamilton says the draft plan encourages development that uses existing infrastructure as opposed to development on the edge of the city and there are still provisions in place to prevent an influx of high-rise buildings.
The plan calls for high quality design that's active at street level, affordable housing in all areas of the city and balanced transportation options like public transit.
The public will get a chance to see it tomorrow at Saint John High beginning at 5:30 pm.
