In fifty years or so Nationally I'd like to see:
- Calgary up to 2-2.5m (curb sprawl though the city is ridiculous. I recommend a giant glass dome
)
- Windsor around 750'000
- Quebec City capped around 1m (need for large center further East)
- A True Northern City (say Yellowknife)
In the Maritimes:
- St. John's around 250'000
- Charr'town around 100'000
- Moncton 1/2 size of Halifax (~300'000)
- Halifax RM to 600'000
- Truro up to 75-100k (new city and adjacent suburbs).
Additionally I would love to see clear growth corridors in the rest of the region. These would be;
Avon Line - From Downtown Halifax through Sackville adjacent the 101. Stretching past Windsor to Kentville. New local government for New Minas/Wolfville/Kentville with city designation. Additonal 5'000 residents in Windsor.
Fundy Line - From the International border at Saint Stephen stretching up Highway 1 through Saint John to the airport
The Hub - Major corridor from Halifax to Moncton. Surpass 1 million residents with growth focused in Elmsdale/Enfield, Truro, Amherst and Dieppe.
