Obviously, population growth doesn't automatically track form (skyscrapers etc.)
But it certainly is a growth metric.
If one applies that to Toronto.
Based on the 2011 census, and forecast numbers for this year (this years census data will be published in Feb 2022)........
The GTHA (Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area)
Grew from 6,598,668 in 2011 to 7,180,434 this year.
Growth of roughly 600,000 people or about 9%
****
If one measured using the Greater Golden Horseshoe (Toronto's answer to Chicagoland)
Grew from 8,974,950 in 2011 to 9,860,745 this year.
Growth of roughly 900,000 people or about 9%

Currently published projections show the GGH growing to 11.95M by 2031
That would be net growth of 2,100,000 over the next decade or about 21%.
Adding roughly 210,000 residents per year.
