ALUMNI SPEAKER SERIES “A Canadian’s Right to Housing: How Do We Get There"

Canada’s National Housing Act recognizes the right to housing as a fundamental human right, essential to the inherent dignity and wellbeing of the person and to building sustainable and inclusive communities. Yet from record housing prices that locks many people out of home ownership to marginalized communities lacking necessities such as clean drinking water, the right to housing is emerging as a critical question for architects and planners. What does fair access to housing look like? How can we make better community infrastructure that truly supports affordable housing? How affordable are current options and what would deep affordability look like? Join us as architectural experts look at this issue across different perspectives and geographies.

The audience will have an opportunity to ask questions of the panel of experts.
