Population density requirements need to be met first. Ironically, the massive immigration numbers everyone is complaining about is the only way in the long term, given our fertility rates.
This of course is also predicted on housing availability but that is another issue.
There was a plan for this once upon a time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid-Canada_Corridor
Today there are also land use rights issues.
Immigration means fuck all if we still only build low density single family homes. The only thing that increases density is zoning and building for density.
