Collapse of an affordable housing dream (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It was, and may still be, the home-building industry’s version of the chicken-and-egg quandary. When Leith Moore, an architect and infill developer, in 2021 decided to take a run at constructing modular housing, his firm tapped into a stream of small-scale affordable projects backed by governments or non-profits aiming to build quickly. Their “volumetric” components – rooms, effectively – could be built in a factory, then assembled on site. Yet after Mr. Moore and his Assembly Corp. partners beg
How Canada can play to win when U.S. trade strategy goes rogue (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Back in the day, multilateral trade negotiations resembled grandmaster chess tournaments: intense, yet everyone played by the same rules. But negotiating with the U.S. under President Donald Trump has demanded a totally different gaming analogy. Noah Fry, a Dalhousie University political scientist who studies the intersection of game theory and trade negotiation strategy, offers a legibly Canadian one to describe the first CUSMA negotiations with Trump in 2018—and perhaps, as of this past August
Unpacking the Carney government’s $2.7-billion housing pledge (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When Prime Minister Mark Carney and Mayor Olivia Chow turned up at a construction site earlier this month, they came lugging a truckload of big numbers to unload on the city’s perennially fraught housing market.

Toronto will ante up a further $530-million in capital, plus a century’s worth of property tax abatements.

For decades, Halifax’s Centennial Building, with its façade of vertical precast concrete strips and modernist stylings, anchored half a downtown block facing Sackville Street, about a third of the way up the steep hill between the harbour and the park surrounding the city’s historic Citadel. During COVID-19, with so many people working from home, the Centennial’s tenants vanished and in 2021, the 200,000-square-foot building was sold to Sidewalk, a Dartmouth developer/builder that wanted to conv
A vertical variation on green building technology: solar walls (opens the original)

When the University of Toronto Scarborough opens its new six-storey academy of medicine and integrated health complex this fall, students and members of the public will be able to access not just state-of-the-art classrooms and labs, but also a family health clinic and a pharmacy, both of which are scarce in its corner of the city. What they likely won’t notice, however, is the way energy courses through the building, which was co-designed by the Dutch architecture powerhouse MVRDV and local par
