We have many choices in accommodating two million more people living in the Valley by 2050.
Plan Trend 2050 predicts 93% of the 2050 population living inside urban growth boundaries (UGBs). These boundaries have expanded by 51,000 acres over their 1990 extent. Within the UGB, 80 percent of the land is developed as homes, roads, or other built features.
This comparatively small UBG expansion is accomplished by building new homes at a density of about eight homes per acre compared to about four homes per acre in 1990.
