This four-part lecture series will explore (and question) the status quo by fostering a dialogue between millennials (those born between the early 1980s and the late ‘90s) and an array of housing experts, including urban historians, developers, real estate professionals, builders, policymakers, financing specialists, environmental experts, and socio-cultural activists.

This dialogue is intended to explore opportunities to broaden the repository of existing housing and homeownership options by identifying limitations and determining what interventions may be necessary and/or feasible given the systems under which the housing market operates in Canada.

Session 4 – Ownership, Housing, and Community Design: A Sustainability Perspective
Thursday, March 16, 6:00 p.m.
This session explores homeownership and community structure from a sustainability perspective, considering the inter-relationship between economic, environmental, and social factors. It offers a critical look into what might be termed a ‘happy city,’ including the interdependencies, opportunities, and challenges of a design that fosters stability and accommodates change.

The series is jointly sponsored by:

• Carleton University, Azrieli School of Architecture & Urbanism
• Algonquin College, Department of Interior Design
• The Urban Land Institute, Ottawa Chapter
• The Canadian Centre for Mindful Habitats
