The housing crisis is a pressing challenge that affects us all, and we’re diving deep into one bold solution: urban densification.
Join us for an engaging discussion featuring a panel of experts who will tackle the question: “Can urban densification truly be the answer to the housing crisis?”. Our distinguished speakers will share their insights on the design, planning, and development of medium-density housing, and they’ll challenge conventional thinking while offering bold recommendations to help make housing accessible for everyone.
