"Rapid transit, along with the Central Transit Corridor Community Building Strategy, will shape our community by encouraging reurbanization in existing urban areas." Pretty much everything within the boundaries of Kitchener, Waterloo and Cambridge fits that definition.For some definition of urban. Reurbanization is focused on the Central Transit Corridor in all of these plans, even if there is some that is expected/encouraged in existing suburban areas. Realistically, intensification in/near suburban subdivisions is a challenge, as is intensification along back-lotted arterials. And I don't see why it would be a better idea than focusing that density in the one main corridor.
