Over the next 20 years, our population in Waterloo Region will rise by nearly 200,000 people, from about 500,000 to over 700,00. That’s an average of 10,000 new people each year who will need homes and jobs in our Region, and who will bring new cars to our streets. The Region of Waterloo has been working to make our cities more liveable through intensification and in ensure that our growth does not sprawl over and destroy our surrounding valuable farmland. This is what we call Smart Growth – a more sustainable way of growth and development.
