Different types of housing

Urban Growth and Change, a research group under Dr. Dawn Parker in the University of Waterloo's School of Planning, releases findings from years of housing research based in Waterloo Region. Some of their findings are:

  • A residential mismatch between demand and supply for transit-oriented developments (TOD) in Kitchener Waterloo.
  • Renters in Kitchener-Waterloo are diverse - but their rental options are not.
  • Calls for the Region to build "missing middle" multi-bedroom affordable Housing for families near amenities thus creating "urban villages" along main transit routes.
