Population projections for London

What are your thoughts on future population figures for London (city, CMA)? With or without High Speed Rail connections? What could set us on a faster growth trajectory, along the lines of Kitchener-Waterloo? Is this city condemned to mediocre growth? How can we get a larger proportion of UWO grads to stay in London?

You may prefer to use a formula, like this one.
N=No*e^(r*t)
N = Future Population
No = Starting population
r = growth rate
t= number of years.
e=2.71828 (constant)

Without high speed rail, I project a mediocre 0.75% growth rate per annum. With high speed rail (QC-Windsor corridor), I predict that London would be much more appealing to business and people alike (esp. with the growth of the GTA) and I would instead project a 1% growth rate per annum.
