Regional Activity Centres (RACs)

Regional Activity Centres (RACs) are designated zones within a metropolitan area that serve as hubs for specific types of activities, such as commercial, cultural, or recreational functions. They are planned to concentrate growth, reduce urban sprawl, and enhance accessibility and amenities within their regions. By focusing development in these centers, RACs help create vibrant neighborhoods, improve infrastructure, and support economic activity, making cities more efficient and livable while preserving surrounding areas. Essentially, RACs are strategic nodes that organize urban growth and activity across broader metropolitan regions.
