The Metro Vancouver region’s Regional Growth Strategy,
Metro 2050, is a shared vision of how projected population, housing, and job growth will be managed over time. Adopted on February 24, 2023, it is the regional federation’s collective vision for how growth will be managed to support the creation of complete, connected, and resilient communities, while protecting important lands and supporting the efficient provision of urban infrastructure like transit and utilities.
Metro Vancouver's projections indicate that the region will have almost 1.5 million new residents by the year 2050, for a total population of 4.2 million. Over 600,000 new homes will be needed and 650,000 new jobs will be created during that time to accommodate growth.
This performance monitoring dashboard tracks progress toward the five goals set out in Metro 2050. Performance is evaluated on an ongoing basis as data becomes available.
