I think this is the most accurate answer so far. There's going to be a lot of spillover from the large, expensive metropolitan areas into mid-sized cities where housing is generally cheaper and people can live with less headache.
Places like Victoria, Kelowna, Saskatoon, Winnipeg, Windsor, London, Guelph, Quebec City, and Halifax are among the cities that will probably see the most significant changes in population and development by 2030. Lot of things are happening already in all of these places, and I would expect that to continue.
In terms of large cities, Ottawa will likely change the most.
