Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the last 50 years, development patterns in Canada have emphasized building out onto greenfield lands at the urban edge at a rate that has outstripped the rate of population growth. This development pattern has resulted in the loss of farmland and natural areas, rising car dependency and traffic congestion. Moreover, many municipalities lack the resources to pay for the infrastructure needed to support expansion into greenfield areas. One of the ways municipalities have sought to address these issues is through residential intensification, i.e., encouraging housing development in existing urban areas where infrastructure and transit services are already in place. Infill development, adaptive reuse, brownfield development, lot splitting and secondary suites are examples of intensification that can result in the following: Ÿ Reduce infrastructure costs; Ÿ Use land more efficiently; Ÿ Preserve rural and natural areas outside existing urban boundaries; Ÿ Revitalize urban areas in decline; and Ÿ Create more transportation choice through easier access to daily destinations like work, shopping and entertainment (e.g., mixed-use, pedestrian- and transit-oriented neighbourhoods). Despite the considerable potential benefits, intensification faces a series of practical challenges: Ÿ Higher development costs; Ÿ Neighbourhood opposition; Ÿ Regulatory issues. This study aims to profile successful examples of municipal initiatives that have helped to overcome obstacles such as these, either by removing barriers or providing positive incentives. Most importantly, they have resulted in concrete results "on the ground, " in that they have helped trigger or facilitate projects that may not have otherwise gone ahead. The report profiles 12 case studies of local initiatives that support intensification. This document is intended to be of use to municipal officials and other stakeholders across the country who may be looking for mechanisms with which to encourage intensification.

Book excerpt: Housing is increasingly unattainable in successful global cities, and Toronto is no exception -- in part because of zoning that protects “stable” residential neighborhoods with high property values. House Divided is a citizen’s guide for changing the way housing can work in big cities. Using Toronto as a case study, this anthology unpacks the affordability crisis and offers innovative ideas for creating housing for all ages and demographic groups. With charts, maps, data, and policy prescriptions, House Divided poses tough questions about the issue that will make or break the global city of the future.

Book excerpt: Residential intensification is a policy of increasing the density of land use, either in core cities or "edge cities" on the urban periphery. Although intensification initiatives may occur in commercial, institutional or industrial areas, the focus of this study is on residential intensification, whether this be in new developments or in mature neighbourhoods. This study has three main objectives: (1) to review the academic and professional literature on the pros and cons of intensification ; (2) to conduct a national survey of municipalities to identify intensification policies and initiatives, and ; (3) to conduct detailed case studies of selected intensification initiatives. The literature reveals that for every argument that supports intensification there is a counter argument that repudiates it, often on the basis of the same information. The national survey reveals that intensification initiatives are much more diverse and developed than anticipated. They range from small fringe municipalities to large core cities, and a majority of them have been implemented. Planning officials across the country are well aware of the debate on intensification and its advantages and disadvantages. The case studies conducted verify these findings, and the breadth and depth of municipal projects undertaken indicate a significant planning policy shift in how urban land is used in Canada.
