AB - Urban populations are forecast to increase in coming decades. Population growth is a major underlying factor for the demand of housing and without a new supply of dwellings, it pushes up the prices for both renting and purchasing dwellings. The resultant fall in affordability is a problem that is further compounded in many large cities by the change in living preferences that has resulted in a fall in household occupancy rates, particularly in the western world.
