How do we preserve the housing we have while creating the housing we need?
For housing providers, it’s not an either/or. Existing homes need investment, while demand for more affordable housing continues to grow. The opportunity is to do both, treating renewal and new development as part of one housing strategy.
Using 444 Logan Avenue Net Zero Renewal and Regent Park Revitalization as complementary case studies, this panel explores how renewal and growth can work together to strengthen communities.
Panelists will share practical approaches to financing, partnerships, technology, asset management and long-term planning, and explore how housing investment can advance environmental, financial and social sustainability. The session will also introduce the emerging vision for the Centre for Green Building Transformation (CGBT) and its role in supporting sector-wide transformation.
You’ll leave with:
- Think both/and: Connect renewal and new development in your housing strategy.
- Make investments work harder: Explore how housing investment can deliver environmental, financial and social outcomes together.
- Plan for the long term: Take away practical lessons on financing, partnerships, technology and asset stewardship.
See how doing both can strengthen housing portfolios and build more sustainable communities.
