The 2006 Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe Growth Plan is the latest provincial initiative to plan the growth of the Toronto region.

This illustrated overview of regional planning dispels some misconceptions about regional planning in the Toronto area and provides some clues to the likely outcome of the Growth Plan.
