Land Use
In Canada, urban expansion mostly takes place on prime agricultural land. Currently, there is about 18,000 square kilometers (or 1.8 million hectares, 4.5 million acres) of land used for urban areas. As the population grows, urban areas will continue to expand depending on how dense those areas will become.
