Before recent legislative and policy changes, the City of Toronto used Section 37 of Ontario’s Planning Act to secure affordable housing from developers through density bonusing. How did the City do in achieving affordable units? 🧵

Rapid housing must mean quality housing. Pandemic and climate resilient housing. @CMHC_ca #NationalHousingDay Urgency cannot sacrifice the health and comfort of the residents. clean50.com/projects/kearns-…
Access to housing is a basic necessity, yet far too many Canadians lack access to stable and affordable housing in their community. Yesterday we announced the Rapid Housing Initiative, which provides $1B to help those experiencing homelessness.

My father. Signed up in Edmonton in 1949. Came home from Holland in 1946. His war bride, my mother, preceded him. He also brought home an injury. A bashed thorax from a gun recoil in the filthy battle of Monte Cassino that caused him pain his entire life.

“Affordable housing is typically seen as a cost to a project,” Jason Marks says. “I wanted to reverse the focus and make affordable housing the benefit.” Is affordable housing scaleable? We don't just think so, we've created a model to make it so. nationalpost.com/life/homes/…

"Adding highway lanes to deal with traffic congestion is like loosening your belt to cure obesity." - Lewis Mumford in 1955. We’ve known this for a LONG time, but we’ve put massive money, space, time & energy into pretending we don’t know it. #InducedDemand #lawofcongestion

This spring, @MyTOin10 is challenging youth to reimagine #Toronto in a post-pandemic world. How do you think #COVID19 will affect the way we build our city? #Mytoin10

We’re going to be investigating the 15 minute city idea @MyTOin10 stay tuned... @CGCEdComms
Imagine Paris, but even better. Imagine a global model of “hyper-local” city building, championing the “15 Minute City” with cycle-lanes on every street by 2024, 60,000 on-street parking spaces transformed, etc. Via @WEF kudos @Anne_Hidalgo @CarlosMorenoFr
