We’re a mountainous island in the Pacific with a population density of 27 people per square kilometre, with the densest urban area holding about 570 people per square kilometre.
I see a lot of people trying to say that Vancouver Island is overpopulated, and that’s why we need to stop building new homes. How did this ludicrous idea get into everyone’s heads?
In terms of technological development, climate, and geography, we’re much closer to places like Japan, Korea, and Taiwan — yet all of those places have national population densities in the hundreds, and urban population densities in the thousands — sometimes even in the tens of thousands.
A lot of this work is already being done. Anyone who has taken the Capital Regional District’s watershed tour likely already knows that our reservoirs have more than six times the capacity than our population needs.
