It's no secret that Saskatoon is growing at an absolutely crazy amount.
Here's a sample of different growth rates for Saskatoon city and metro
I think a fair assumption for Saskatoon growing over the next sixteen years is the city growing somewhere between 2.5% - 3% with the metro growing between 3.5% - 4%.
That puts the city population in 2030 at 377,000 - 410,000 and a metro population in 2030 at 525,000 - 569,000.
For growth, Saskatoon is planning on growing on the west and east fringes of the city.
Here's Saskatoon's future growth map going forward.
There will be over 120,000 extra people in the city and 220,000 extra people in the metro area over the next sixteen years.
- How does Saskatoon look in 2030?
- How does traffic look in 16 years?
- Do Riversdale and Nutana explode in density?
- How does downtown look in 16 years?
- Can we have a rapid transit system in place by 2030?
- How is the University affected?
- What cultural, recreational, and entertainment changes can we expect?
- Warman and Martensville will likely combine for over 50,000. How does this affect those communities and the north side of Saskatoon?
- How does the north bridge affect the city? How about the perimeter highway?
