Canada's construction news
A task force focused on affordable housing through a climate-conscious lens is calling for unprecedented co-operation to double Canada’s housing stock.group lays out a plan for all levels of government to build 5.8 million new homes with an emphasis on resiliency, low-carbon materials and affordability.
Achieving the scale needed to double the amount of homes in Canada relies on five factors, the report said: Where building occurs; what kind of structures are built; what methods ae used; the reasons behind building, including affordable and below-cost housing; and a framework uniting all levels of government and other stakeholders in a co-ordinated effort.
Yangki appealed to the construction industry to accelerate modular and factory-built housing in order to address affordability and climate change at the same time. “We have to recognize that the data we have is so fragmented and that leads to policies, programs and responses that are also fragmented,” she said. “If we have a pan-Canadian framework with data on the housing sector and climate resiliency, we have to ensure its publicly available and that it’s co-ordinated, which is a key factor in how where, what and how we build are successfully implemented.
