Housing in Mature Urban Neighborhoods – a Design and Business Model for Gentle Densification

The interns are students in an online university programme in architecture. They will contribute to the research, development and presentation of a study by the partner organisation architecture firm, addressing the housing crisis in Canada through an initiative that explores gentle densification of mature urban neighborhoods through a design tool-kit of recommendations and a new business model that mitigates the cost of land in the development. This initiative is scalable across various cities in the country. Its completion will result in a broad dissemination of the work products via various publications to a wide variety of user groups, architecture programmes, the profession and the housing industry itself; thus exposing, crediting and enhancing the interns portfolio of work as integral components of the overall study.
