City of Toronto Report:

How does the City Grow? (Excerpts)

https://www.toronto.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/9108-City-Planning-How-Does-The-City-Grow-July-2018.pdf

P. 5: Table 4: In 2017, 16,633 residential units were approved. There is a lot of difference year over year, e.g. in 2014, there were almost twice as many permits issued (31,261).

Over the last five years, more residential units have been approved than were built….City Council has approved an average of 20,851 residential units per year between 2013 and 2017 while 18,598 units on average were built each year.

P.26: Some units are demolished to realize the new housing. A previous Development Charges Background Study used a demolition rate of 10% in realizing the new residential units. Taking this into account, a net total of 203,396 units were completed with a further 129,472 net new units approved but not yet constructed, totalling 83% of the units needed to accommodate the forecasted household growth to 2041. Including the proposals in the development Pipeline still under review, the total net potential housing is 464,431 units; a surplus of 65,161 units or 16% above the forecasts supporting the Growth Plan.

People as stuff:

P.27: The minimum gross density target is 400 residents and jobs combined per hectare for each Centre and for Downtown.
