When it comes to the change in population, the Township of Langley, Maple Ridge, New Westminster, Coquitlam, UBC, and Tsawwassen First Nation are where Metro Vancouver is predicting will see the most significant increase as a percentage of the current population over the next 25 years.

In recent years, Langley City has been a high-growth community, according to census data. Still, the Metro Vancouver model predicts that Langley City will see medium growth in the coming decades. Langley City's population is now closely tracking with the City of Port Moody.
These population growth projections help the region and municipalities plan for infrastructure needs such as water, sewer, and transportation. It can also help inform land-use decisions.
You can view the updated projections on the Metro Vancouver website.

I’m going to go off topic ,I just have to, I sure don’t agree with you on a couple of things but Nathan I was so proud of you as my Mayor yesterday my emotions were a tsunami , the Remembrance Service had Douglas Park packed with a huge crowd of appreciative souls alive & passed and many cities have unfortunately lost sight of our Judeo- Christian heritage and stopped Christian or Church references in services my Wife was moved to tears as her Father landed on Juno and was fought through France & Holland he saw first hand the results of Anti-Semitism unchecked , Thanks Nathan for allowing the mention of Scripture & Hymns related to that terrible time of history, as it carried millions through the worst of times !
