Topic: Building Scattered Unit Co-Ops in Toronto
Jim will be presenting his research on how housing co-ops are the optimal solution for achieving housing equity, security, and sustainability. He believes that we can significantly increase the number of housing co-ops by replacing single-family homes. Currently, he is engaging with developers and conducting market research and geographic analysis to pioneer the next generation of housing co-ops.
