Dear John,

Canadian cities — including Toronto and Vancouver, which are experiencing high and increasing housing costs — can accommodate much more housing supply as they have much lower population densities than other major comparable urban centres around the world.

A new Fraser Institute study compares population densities in 30 metropolitan centres in high-income developed countries, and finds that Canadian cities are among the least-dense.

Even Vancouver, Canada’s densest major city, is significantly less dense than San Francisco.

Canadian cities can become significantly more dense, and possibly more affordable, without necessarily sacrificing living standards.

Read the full study here [[link removed]], and be sure to share this study with your friends and colleagues.

Sincerely,

Niels Veldhuis

President
