Global - Local: Durham Region Population Model

Ethan Ali

This Oshawa and Global Population Model simulates the unrestricted, continuous growth of Oshawa’s local population alongside global population trends within 50 years time. Due to it leaving out any "carrying capacity" caps, the model maps steady, compounding growth based solely on ongoing births, deaths, and migration.
By tracking local and worldwide numbers simultaneously, the simulation provides a clear side-by-side comparison of how a fast-growing Canadian city scales in proportion to total global growth over time.
