What is an ideal population level for the Garden City?

Would it be half a million to 800,000?

The big challange right now is to stop the population decline before we can think of the future size of our city its still loosing 500 per month. Get the rebuild into full swing and give concessons to attract new developments which will create the jobs and allow people to stay here and have a future. The city only had a 1% growth rate before the quakes so it takes 10 years to add 30,000 people and may be 2022 before it returns to pre quake levels. Even by the end of this century it maybe only 500,000. That's if we have no more quakes...hopefully.
