Future City | What is Affordable Housing these days?
How do we build housing for the other 80% of us?
As our city grows, part of attracting young talent, addressing the changing needs of an aging population, and supporting a service oriented workforce is having enough of the kinds of places they can afford and want to live.
Micro-Unit apartments, skinny homes, tiny homes, multi-family living, granny flats, modular construction and shared spaces.
Join us as we talk with city planners, market rate and affordable rate housing developers, builders and more about what’s trending around the world and what’s coming to a neighborhood near you.
