9.5 BILLION comprised of:
Map produced by the SASI group (Sheffield) and Mark Newman (Michigan)
CANADA in 2050
43M population on the 2cd largest land mass in the world Significantly under populated for optimum economy, Dependant on USA for national boundaries protection Canada has the world’s largest water supply, Abundant food supply, and Abundant natural resources Vancouver will be a major North American gateway to 33%
- f the world’s population located in China and India,
countries with very significant immigrant populations within Canada/BC
Beyond normal immigration, what will be Canada’s share
- f the estimated 100M Climate Migrants in 2050 – fleeing
the “too hot, crowded and too wet” portions of the world.
An opportunistic immigration policy of 400,000/yr vs the
projected 250,000/yr of new immigrants/natural growth could increase Canada’s population to 50M by 2050.
CANADA in 2050
By 2050 - 87% of Canada’s population will be in urban
centers
Immigration patterns to 2006 generated
90% located around 33 metropolitan areas 50% - located in/around Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver
Economic opportunity attracts population growth Accessibility drives population distribution Affordability drives population settlement
87% of Canada’s population will be in urban
CANADA in 2050
Metro Vancouver population could grow to 4,000,000 from
current population 2.2 million
More aggressive growth rates could yield 5,000,000 What are the attitudes, issues and requirements related to
accommodating 1,800,000 to 2,800,000 new residents in the Metro Vancouver over the next 40 years?
Will we embrace significant immigration growth and
become a stronger more self sustaining part of the global economy
“The future isn’t a place we go to, it is a place we create”.

VANCOUVER in 2050
Attract intellectual /economic capital to our region to
transform from a tourist destination /retirement “resort” for the wealthy to a world class, urban city with a robust economy and a vibrant future, by:
Coordinated cross regional planning policies guided by a
common vision of the Region
Planned distributed of populations centered on rapid
transit for optimal density/utilization
Effective incentives / measures to ensure residential
affordability and liveability and commensurate public amenity
VANCOUVER in 2050
Population and Density (persons per sq km) in 2006
Metro Vancouver 2.2M in 2,878 km² (735 persons/km²)
City of Vancouver 580,000 in 115 km² (5,040 persons/km²) Population and Density (persons per sq km) in 2006
VANCOUVER in 2010
* Burnaby, Surrey, Richmond, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, New Westminster, Port Moody, and Vancouver,
Population Density (persons per sq km) in 2006
Currently 8*cities contain 1,716,00 people on 704 km²
(24.5% of Metro Vancouver land area of 2,878 km²)
If these 8 cities and 704 km² were populated at the Vancouver density rate of 5,040 persons/km² population could be 3,546,700 persons Population Density (persons per sq km) in 2006
VANCOUVER in 2050
* Burnaby, Surrey, Richmond, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, New Westminster, Port Moody, and Vancouver,
Increasing Density on 3 Rapid Transit lines at 2.5X
Vancouver density (12,700 p/sq/km) generates 1,270,000 people
Develop the balance of lands at the current Vancouver
density of 5,040 p/sq/km generates 3,040,000 people:
total population of 4,310,000 (6,750 p/sq/km)
Increasing Density on 3 Rapid Transit lines at 2.5X
VANCOUVER in 2050
Translink Stations shown on current Expo, Millennium, Canada Lines (and proposed Evergreen Line)
There will be a shift from conceiving of buildings as being
in the landscape to one of experiencing the urban environment/buildings as the urban landscape
We will have considered the relationship between building
heights and density in relationship to panoramic “views of the mountains” from within the City
In the interests of creating a vibrant pedestrian oriented
urban realm in the downtown core area(s) for public squares, mid block pedestrian ways and distributed cultural facilities throughout the distributed urban cores.
BUILDINGS in 2050
Sustainable Cities in 2050 will be shaped by:
Transit oriented high density High performance resource sensitive buildings Mixed use buildings with built in adaptability over
economic life
Dynamic, engaging multi layered ground planes and public
spaces Sustainable Cities in 2050 will be shaped by:
