Ontario's Peel Region just approved a new urban growth plan that will guide its growth all the way to 2051. The plan envisions accommodating an estimated 700,000 new residents by increasing density in some established neighbourhoods, while also opening up about 4,450 hectares of farmland to new development.
Peel Region will expand its urban boundaries to accommodate expected population growth, bucking a trend of nearby municipalities that have defied the provincial government’s push for sprawl.
