Greater Toronto & Hamilton Area, Simcoe County, Barrie & Orillia Land Supply Analysis

Malone Given Parsons Ltd. has prepared and maintained land use mapping as part of our Planned Urban Structure map for the Greater Golden Horseshoe since 2001. Over the past 17 years we continue to update and accumulate data into our GIS database which provides our firm knowledge-based context in undertaking land use planning and land economics for large scale projects throughout the Greater Golden Horseshoe, and serves as a powerful analytical tool in our day-to-day practice.

This analysis leverages our mapping and planning insight to provide an accurate accounting of greenfield land supply in the GTHA and Simcoe County. This is presented through mapping and land area statistics for each of the upper- and lower-tier municipalities, with the primary inquiry as to determine whether the 2031 population and job forecasts of the Growth Plan will be achieved. It also provides an overview of Official Plan land use designations and corresponding density to characterize the planning context and as a basis for discussion of key challenges to development in each region.
