City of Calgary - 25
Calgary Region - 2 urban, 3 Rural/Urban combined
City of Edmonton - 19
Edmonton Region - 2 urban, 6/7 Rural/Urban combined
Red Deer - 2 Urban
Lethbridge - 2 Urban
Medicine Hat - 1 Urban, 1 Rural/Urban combined
Grande Prairie - 2 Rural/Urban combined
Fort McMurray - 2 Rural/Urban combined
For a total of 53 for pure urban, 14/15 urban rural combined out of 87 seats.
really interesting, 61% pure urban ridings. What is the process to create more urban ridings as the population in the big cities increase?

Every ten years give or take there is a redistribution. It isn't regular since it uses federal census And census cycles are 5 years while elections are 4 ish years. This last election was the first on the newer distribution.
Really looking forward to seeing the rest of the municipal census numbers come out!
So far we have:
Cochrane - 2000 growth over the past year
Fort Saskatchewan - 1000 growth over the past year
Spruce Grove - 4900 growth over the past 4 years

Lethbridge's population has grown by nearly 10 000 since the last federal census. Over the past year, it grew by 2600! The population is just over 93 000 now.

Reason: correction
It appears that by 2041, Alberta will have a total of 7 Census Metropolitan Areas.
Calgary ~ 2.6 million
Edmonton ~ 2.3 million
Red Deer ~ 350 000
Lethbridge ~ 250 000
Grande Prairie ~ 200 000
Fort McMurray ~ 140 000
Medicine Hat ~ 110 000
Also of relevance to this thread, Okotoks' municipal census was released today. The city's population is now 27 331, with a yearly growth of 1012 people.

Hmm, Red Deer at 350,000 in just 27 years? I'm not to sure about that O.o
CMAs aren't amalgamated. Edmonton is 820 000 people with a CMA of around 1.3 million.
The city of Red Deer will likely be over 150 000 with many more in its future CMA. These cities/towns include Blackfalds, Sylvan Lake, Lacombe, Penhold, etc. But really, who knows what towns StatsCan will include in the CMA once it's created in the 2021 Census.
I could be being over zealous with the number of 350 000, but over 300 000 is likely, as Census District 8 will be around 400 000.

The reason why I think 350,000 is a bit high for Red Deer by around 2040 is because the city has been annexing land to sustain growth for a population of 300,000 which they say is likely by 2060-2080 approximately. http://www.reddeerregion.com/maps4a.htm

The point Chad is trying to make is that not all of the growth would be within the City of Red Deer, and the dynamics of how much of the growth will be located within Red Deer in a Red Deer CMA may change. In 2040, 50% of the CMA growth may be in Blackfalds or Lacombe.

Mhmm, I get that. I confused amalgamation with CMAs. Those two get mixed around in my head for some reason.

Also, no one really expected the last couple of years crazy above trend growth. A few years of 2.5-3% throws trends way off.
According to the Red Deer region website, the population of the immediate Red Deer region (likely to become the CMA once the municipality passes 100 000) is already over 170 000.

Have to wonder why, then, the CMA wasn't created earlier. It's gonna look odd in 2016 or 2021 or whenever they finally add Red Deer as a CMA that its first stats as a CMA are already approaching 200,000.
