Building for the 99%: Missing Middle Housing in a Time of Crisis

Thursday, October 30
11:45-12:45
Architects from Calgary (BOLD), Toronto (Superkül), Montreal (KANVA), and Winnipeg (5468796) will examine how four distinct approaches to housing respond to Canada’s intersecting climate and housing crises. With the Government of Canada’s Housing Catalogue newly released, this timely panel highlights missing middle housing as a sustainable, scalable solution. Through case studies, panelists will explore affordable – and potentially replicable – models that optimize land use, incorporate sustainable materials, and foster resilient communities. Topics include self-development, prefab construction, aging in place, and strategies to address NIMBYism. Speakers will share insights about working with the Government, offering practical paths forward in building climate-resilient, inclusive housing across Canada.
