The business revitalization zone (BRZ) program was established in 1983 to allow certain commercial areas of the city to administer and promote themselves internally. Many of the zones (or districts) that emerged from this have since acquired a virtual "neighbourhood" status by the people of Calgary. Most zones now offer a unique street shopping environment (many have restaurants and nightlife too) and have become popular destinations for both Calgarians and visitors to the city. None of these zones are officially designated as neighbourhoods unto themselves however. The City of Edmonton also uses BRZs, and other cities have equivalent systems such as Business improvement districts.
Most industrial areas are located between Deerfoot Trail and 36 Street E in the northern half of the city; between Macleod Trail, Deerfoot Trail and Glenmore Trail in the south and east of Barlow Trail in the south-east.
The following industrial and commercial areas are established in Calgary: Alyth/Bonny Brook · Burns Industrial · Calgary International Airport · Deerfoot Business Centre (commercial) · Eastfield · Foothills · Forest Lawn Industrial · Franklin · Fairview Industrial · Glendeer Business Park · Great Plains · Greenview Industrial Park · Golden Triangle · Harvest Hills Business Park · Highfield · Horizon · McCall · Meridian · Mayland · Manchester Industrial · North Airways · Ogden Shops · Pegasus · South Airways · Shepard Industrial · Skyline · Saddle Ridge Industrial · Starfield · Sunridge (commercial) · Valleyfield · Westwinds.
