The Region of Waterloo has seen strong population growth over the past decade. While regional and municipal governments do not supply housing directly, they do project and plan for future housing needs. However, traditional housing assessments and response plans only consider population projections and average household sizes to generate an estimated number of housing units needed. Alex Petric, a PhD candidate in the School of Planning, and co-authors argue that to meet the needs of diverse household types and communities, an expanded analysis is required.
