context_page_description: Vaughan Metropolitan Centre is a central business district in Vaughan, Ontario, Canada. Measuring 179 hectares, the district is located at the intersection of Highway 7 and Jane Street, northeast of the Highway 400 and Highway 407 interchange, at the site of the historic farming community of Edgeley within the larger district of Concord. It is served by the Vaughan Metropolitan Centre subway station, which is the northwestern terminus of Line 1 Yonge–University of the Toronto subway system. It is also a major transit hub for York Region Transit, as well as Viva and Züm bus rapid transit services.
context_section_description: Vaughan is building a city centre from scratch around the Vaughan Metropolitan Centre subway station in a 179 hectare site that prior to the station's opening was low density featuring big box stores such as Walmart. Vaughan projects that by 2031, the new downtown will have 25,000 residents and employment for more than 11,000 people.
  As of 2019, developments in the VMC include eight residential towers and two office towers built or under construction. Another 13 developments are proposed, submitted and approved.
  The VMC will comprise distinct development precincts including residential neighbourhoods, office districts, employment areas and mixed-use areas, all linked by a robust system of parks, squares and open spaces and a fine grain grid pattern of streets.
  The Official Plan states as a policy that the City shall encourage and facilitate the establishment of the following in the VMC:
  Major offices
  Government offices
  Post-secondary educational institutions
  Cultural facilities
  Public institutions
  Major civic public spaces and parks
  Socially diverse residential neighbourhoods that contain a mix of housing types, including housing suitable for seniors and families with children
  An open space and natural heritage system along the Black Creek corridor.
  In 2017, a website was launched in an effort to raise awareness, provide resources, engage members of the community, and highlight the progress of the Vaughan Metropolitan Centre development.
  Further details of the City of Vaughan's plans for expansion and development are included as part of the council's secondary plan.
