The 2020 consolidation builds upon the initial Growth Plan, 2006 and responds to the key challenges that the region continues to face over the coming decades; it provides a framework for implementing Ontario government's vision for building stronger, prosperous communities by better managing growth in the region. It establishes the long-term framework for where and how the region will grow, while recognizing the realities facing the cities and smaller communities and acknowledging what governments can and cannot influence. It also provides leadership for improving the ways in which cities, suburbs, towns, and villages will grow over the long-term.
