In 2005, Urban Futures produced a report that looked at the future changes in population, employment, housing, and land use in the FVRD and five sub-areas.  These sub-areas include Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Mission, Harrison-Kent and Hope.

The report considered the factors, trends, and processes that will shape the nature and magnitude of change that will be experienced in this area from 2003 to 2031.  Below is a copy of this report in its entirety as an Adobe PDF file.
