New Communities are large undeveloped land areas planned for future urban development, including a mix of uses, range of housing types, parks and open spaces, jobs, and transit.

Airport Area policies, described in section F1 of Complete Communities 2.0, support the vital economic importance of Winnipeg JAR International Airport and surrounding lands.

Recent Communities consist of neighbourhoods planned after 1950. They are often defined by a mix of modified grid and curvilinear streets with fewer sidewalks and public lanes. They are a subset of Established Neighbourhoods, which are the existing residential areas housing the majority of Winnipeggers.

Corridors are targeted segments of Winnipeg's major transportation routes that provide the best opportunity for mixed use intensification outside of Downtown by virtue of their access to high quality transit and local commercial amenities. Urban Mixed Use Corridors are the most pedestrian-oriented of the City's Corridors, whose design and land use currently provide a high-quality urban environment or are expected to transition to such a standard in the shorter term.

Regional Mixed Use Centres are the most prominent retail destinations in the City, anchored by regional-scale major retail uses and supported by smaller-scale retail and service uses. They are generally larger than 100 acres in area.

Rural and Agricultural lands are intended to accommodate food production, rural living, and supportive uses that do not require a full range of municipal services. Land fragmentation should be minimized in preparation for long-term urban development, where applicable.

Major Redevelopment Sites are underutilized sites within the City's existing urban fabric that provide opportunities for intensification. Secondary plans to guide the area's transformation must be adopted by Council prior to development.

Prior to the development of New Communities, a secondary plan must be adopted by Council to guide their development. Precincts define the geographic boundaries of these plans.

Mature Communities consist of Winnipeg's earliest neighbourhoods and were mostly planned before 1950. They are defined by well-connected sidewalk networks, grid street patterns, and public lanes. They are a subset of Established Neighbourhoods, which are the existing residential areas housing the majority of Winnipeggers.

Employment Lands provide opportunities to accommodate forecasted employment growth, particularly for industrial uses that may generate noise, odour, or other impacts that may be incompatible with other land uses. They may accommodate a range of industrial, office, major institutional, and ancillary commercial uses.
