The Core, Core Ring, and Inner Suburbs, on the one hand, and the Outer Suburbs, on the other hand, each have about half of the GTA’s [Greater Toronto Area] population of 4.6 million. The population of the Outer Suburbs grows rapidly; that of the remainder grows hardly at all. Indeed the Outer Suburbs of the GTA (together with the corresponding areas of Calgary, Edmonton, Montreal, Ottawa, Vancouver, and Winnipeg) are some of the fastest growing areas in Canada. As a result, the travel patterns of the Outer Suburbs are more and more the future of travel in Canada. 1, record 2, English, - outer%20suburb

Le noyau, l'anneau et les banlieues proches, d'un côté, et les banlieues excentriques, d'un autre côté, représentent chacune environ la moitié de la population de la région, qui totalise 4,6 millions de personnes. La population des banlieues excentriques croît rapidement, tandis que la population des autres parties connaît une croissance à peu près nulle. En effet, les banlieues excentriques de la Région du Grand Toronto (à l'instar des zones correspondantes de Calgary, d'Edmonton, de Montréal, d'Ottawa, de Vancouver et de Winnipeg) figurent parmi les zones qui connaissent la croissance la plus rapide au Canada. Par conséquent, les déplacements qui prévalent dans les banlieues excentriques représentent de plus en plus le type de déplacement qu'on observera à l'avenir au Canada. 2, record 2, French, - banlieue%20lointaine

[...] la capitale de la région aquitaine est devenue le plus important chantier urbain d'Europe. La forêt de grues, les amas de gravats, les rues éventrées témoignent d'un effort sans précédent de transformation de la ville. Il était temps. En quarante ans, elle a perdu le tiers de ses habitants, au profit de sa banlieue, proche ou lointaine. 1, record 2, French, - banlieue%20lointaine
