The document discusses Metro Vancouver's regional growth management plan and strategies to promote transit-oriented development and smart growth. It outlines challenges around current transportation and land use patterns, and solutions like concentrating development in urban centers near transit to reduce car dependency. Metro Vancouver's plan considers population growth projections and aims to coordinate local planning to manage growth, transportation demands, and greenhouse gas emissions on a regional scale through 2030.
