Webinars, Videos, and Podcasts
Multi-unit housing provides us with a unique opportunity to foster social connections, engagement, and resilience. Our webinars, videos, and podcasts brings together diverse speakers, topics, and research to share the social potential of multi-unit housing.
Thoughtful design and programming
As Canadian cities densify, multi-unit housing is becoming a dominant form for many – if not most – households. These housing types, however, sometimes offer lower levels of connection between neighbours and a reduced feeling of community. This is not a minor issue: our connections with neighbours – and with our immediate neighbourhood – impact our health in significant and measurable ways.
But multi-unit housing is not inherently isolating: thoughtful design and programming can help to build community, neighbourly connections and resilience. Great examples exist but they are too often the exception, not the rule.
This webinar series explores the designs, tools, and paradigms that planners and housing professionals can use to ensure denser housing also supports community resilience and social connection.
