Communities and non-profits across B.C. and Canada have been finding innovative ways to build mixed-use housing that meets a host of needs: more affordable homes, climate action and building livable, resilient communities. Renewable Cities has connected with eight non-profits and local governments that redeveloped their land to include mixed-use housing on top of community infrastructure. In this in-person event, Renewable Cities will share case studies of lessons learned, successes and challenges with building mixed-use housing. Jessica Mcllroy, manager of the Pembina Institute’s Buildings program, joins the panel for discussion at Climate Resilience, Community, Affordability, an SFU Vancouver Lunch 'n' Learn.
