SUMMARY:De-Mystifying The Missing Middle: A Critical Discussion On How To Accommodate Growth In Toronto’s Neighbourhoods
DESCRIPTION:\nWe’ll apply a critical lens to whether missing middle housing might help alleviate Toronto’s current housing crisis, from the perspectives of planners and non-planners, city officials and activists, renters and owners. It will look at what solutions are needed—including and beyond missing middle—to accommodate the needs of our growing city.\nThere are accompanying Jane’s Walk happening the same day in both York and downtown. Please join us for any parts of this important conversation.\nPanelist: Sylvia Roberts is a devoted resident of Brampton. She has advocated on a range of issues in Brampton, with her having a special focus on Housing and Transportation Policy, especially how they relate to marginalized communities such as International Students.\nPanelist: Naama Blonder’s professional practice combines the disciplines of architecture, urban planning, and urban design to bring a deeper, more realistic understanding of how cities can address housing affordability and champion inclusive neighbourhoods with more equitable access to housing. Her work has received numerous awards including the Ontario Association of Architects’ Best Emerging Practice Award for 2022.\nPanelist: Deputy Mayor Ana Bailão serves as City Councillor for Ward 9 (Davenport).  She has been a member of Toronto City Council since 2010 and was re-elected in 2018.\nShe is the Chair of the Planning and Housing Committee and a member of the City’s Executive Committee. She chairs the Corporations Nominating Panel and is also a member of the board of the Toronto Community Housing Corporation and “CreateTO.”  Deputy Mayor Bailão also represents the City of Toronto at the Federation of Canadian Municipalities where she chairs the Social Economic Development Committee.\n\nModerator\nShannon Holness is a Founding Advisor of Progress Toronto. Shannon hails from Jane and Finch, and is committed to social justice and passionate about empowering future generations. Shannon recently completed her masters in Urban Planning from the faculty of Environmental Studies at York University, where she linked her lived experiences as a social housing resident with theory and wrote a compelling thesis centred on an analysis of community revitalizations all over the world.\n\nPanelist: Gregg Lintern is Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, Toronto\nGregg is committed to making Toronto more liveable, inclusive and adapted for all people. His priorities include meaningfully responding to the housing affordability challenge, growing the transit network across the entire City, proactively planning complete and well-designed communities to support population and employment growth, integrating climate adaption and modernizing planning services.\n\n
