Architects and urban planners understand the dangers of ongoing low-density development. But the ability to successfully bring higher-density developments, using small-to mid-sized cities, are not without its challenges—even with the best intentions of real estate developers and municipal champions. From land-use planning to market uptake, this seminar will provide an overview of effective strategies and common constraints across a variety of municipalities in the GTHA.
Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to:
- Explain common land-use trends in small- to mid-size municipalities;
- Identify design approaches to overcome common market constraints;
- Define highest and best-use benchmarks for feasibility studies for sustainable urban densities;
- Describe successful precedents that increase livability, affordability and accessibility through higher-density projects.
