By 1945 the built up area of Saskatoon had only increased very little from that of the 1930's. However the population had increased during the war and rose even further at the end of the war as soldiers returned home, some of them with war brides and children. In 1946 the city recognized a lack of housing development with regards to the population. This led to the development of new residential neighborhoods such as North Park, Expansion west ward of Mayfair, expansion south ward of Nutana and Buena Vista, and the development of whose streets are named after places where Canadian soldiers fought in the second world war.
