Regina is growing faster than anticipated. The current Growth Plan, introduced in 2013, was designed for a population of 300,000. The new Growth Plan Review will include identifying land for new neighbourhoods, supporting redevelopment in existing areas and planning for industrial growth to meet future housing and employment needs.
