SUMMARY REPORT
APRIL 19, 2019
Executive Summary
What Sort of Future Are We Planning For?
25 external forces considered
What is Scenario Planning?
Scenario planning in Metro Vancouver
Current economic, growth and development trends continue Automation-driven decline Job losses and automation-driven immigration result in the decline of a regional economy.
The Four Scenarios
Climate Change
More extreme rainfall events, especially in the wettest periods of the year, increasing the risk of localized flooding in roads, businesses and homes;. An increase in the number and duration of summer fires will affect air quality in the region, impacting community health and may reduce the desire to walk and cycle.
Understanding the Scenarios
Four Possible Futures Compared—2050 Scenarios
In the region by 2050, automation is common in repetitive, labor-intensive jobs such as farming, primary manufacturing, and in many retail and service industries. Overall, the region continues to focus growth in urban centers and corridors, in line with current regional and local plans.
Trend Forward
Improved productivity from automation and continued growth in consumer demand overseas results in increasing global trade through Metro Vancouver. Regional goods movement also continues to grow due to economic growth and population growth, regionally, and the steady growth of e-commerce and just-in-time deliveries.
Current economic, growth and development trends continue
People choose or are forced to look for housing outside the region and travel longer distances. The region remains an attractive place to live, but the costs of living and housing remain high.
Automation-Driven Decline
Automation-driven job losses and outmigration result in a regional economy in decline
There is less travel across the region, but some individuals have to travel much more. In the region by 2050, there is increased pressure to diversify the economy as the region has previously relied on international trade for many goods and services.
Self-Sufficiency
With less global trade, there is a greater incentive to transition to a more sustainable circular economy that uses fewer resources and produces less waste. There is a lower AV adoption rate due to a lack of global investment here and limited manufacturing capabilities to advance the technology in Canada.
Barriers to global trade spur a more self-sufficient regional economy
In the region by 2050, Metro Vancouver remains an attractive place to live relative to much of the world and is sought after for its livability. There is also more (non-work related) discretionary travel due to the increased wealth in the region.
Automation-Driven Boom
It is common to live in one region while working for a company in another part of the world. While both population and employment increase significantly as a result, most of the primary work people do goes to larger knowledge and creative firms based elsewhere in the world.
Automation drives a new economic boom led by new creative & knowledge sectors
Increasing wealth also means that some people choose to own AVs privately, and many more choose to outsource their mobility needs as a service, taking advantage of the many sharing options. Global workers operate in different time zones for companies based elsewhere, reducing traffic congestion in the region, but they also need more 24-hour services.
Next Steps
Indicator Today A: Trend Forward B: Automation-Driven Decline
Appendix A: Detailed Scenario Summary Table
Self-Sufficiency D: Automation-Driven Boom
While a significant proportion of new housing units are located in urban centres, with less commuting there is also a significant demand for more dispersed development. More people are working from home, cafes or co-working spaces, and there is a shift away from office towers and business parks among the professional class.
Appendix A: Detailed Scenario Summary Table (continued)
Housing affordability and income equality are not improving due to a widening wage gap between professional workers and lower-income workers. There has been lower adoption of AVs due to a lack of global investment and limited production of AVs in Canada.
