The biggest legislative changes that preceded this is rezoning practically every single family lot to allow 4-plexes by right so that some charlatan can't come by and stop you from building it. This is just creating affordable preapprove designs to make it easier to take advantage of the rezoning. The government is also forcing rezoning around transit stations and bus exchanges for much higher densities with heights of between 8-20 stories (or higher based on municipal planning) allowed within 800m. While not a monorail there is a 16km elevated train extension going on in the suburbs
