Description :
Over the period, the majority of Canadian cities have undergone transition towards an increasingly decentralised urban form. The trends are quite diverse, pointing to fundamental differences in the respective importance of growth in central and outer parts of the metropolitan area. The predominant trend has been towards suburban-style, low-density expansion, albeit with considerable intercity variation regarding changes in central area and suburban density.
