Shaping the Future of Regina’s Centre Square Area



A recent article published by 980 CJME highlights findings from the City of Regina's public engagement process for the Centre Square Area, a neighbourhood described as one of Regina's most urban and mixed-use environments, with significant unrealized potential.

This is exactly the kind of complex, layered urban context that MRA finds most meaningful to work in, and we are proud to be leading the planning work ahead.

MRA is honoured to be part of the project team retained by the City of Regina to develop a comprehensive Planning Strategy for the Centre Square neighbourhood, alongside Urbanite Advisors and McGowan Russell Group. This is an area with a strong foundation and a compelling future, and we are grateful for the opportunity to contribute to shaping it.

We have a deep passion for Prairie cities. The challenges and opportunities they present. Regina's Centre Square embodies much of what makes prairie neighbourhoods both distinctive and worth investing in.

We believe that planning in today's environment must be critically examined, highly strategic, and grounded in the full complexity of a place. A good planning strategy must be actionable. It must be flexible enough to adapt as conditions evolve, while building the kind of community and institutional momentum that turns plans into outcomes. Above all, it must be developed from a wholistic perspective: drawing in as many voices and as much context as possible to ensure that the strategy reflects the real needs, values, and realities of the people and systems it will serve, today and into the future.

That means rigorous background analysis, meaningful public engagement, honest market assessment, and clear, implementable direction. It means understanding what makes Centre Square Area distinct, and building on that, not erasing it.
