\"Transformation<\/p>\n

York Region\u2019s rapid rate of growth is increasing along with housing options in our downtown areas. Some of our communities look more like cities than towns, with Vaughan<\/a> and Markham<\/a> even changing their name from \u201cTown\u201d to \u201cCity.\u201d<\/p>\n

This increase in growth that York Region has experienced has influenced the ways in which our cities and towns are represented. Markham<\/a> was named Canada\u2019s most diverse city and is known as Canada\u2019s high-tech capital<\/a>, and Vaughan<\/a> is one of York Region\u2019s fastest-growing municipalities, and home to exciting achievements. Some of the fun ones: fastest roller-coaster in Canada, and tallest condominium building in York Region.<\/p>\n

On Highway 7 just west of Jane Street is Vaughan\u2019s new vibrant downtown, Vaughan Metropolitan Centre (VMC). The VMC is being built with live-work-play in mind \u2013 a mix of residential, business and retail, combined with transportation connections and planned greenspace.<\/p>\n

Markham is well on its way, with Highway 7 East transformed from a car-focused highway to a complete street with sidewalks, bike lanes and rapid transit. Vaughan\u2019s transformation is unfolding now, with new housing and transportation options to support the growing number of new residents and businesses. This is transformation >> made in York Region.<\/p>\n
