Community Housing for Resilient Communities
Description This project showcases innovation in the community housing sectors of British Columbia and Quebec in the context of urban land development. Specifically, it profiles several community sector innovators that are incrementally increasing local control of urban land development to enhance the sense of belonging for their residents. Ten case studies have been developed to present this information in a format that is compelling and accessible for a broad audience. These case studies were shared with industry professionals and made available to the public at the 2019 Canadian Housing and Renewal Association National Congress on Housing and Homelessness in Victoria, B.C. Videos on the case studies are available as part of this project. Impact The Community Housing for Resilient Communities will facilitate discussion and inspire other community leaders to implement these approaches. This project offers planners, architects, and other city builders an engaging lessons-learned format within the current context of urban land development.
