Transit-Induced Displacement
How opening new transit stations affects low-income residents, with research into patterns of residential displacement and exclusion.
Measuring Main Streets Reports
Canada’s housing system is failing to meet the needs of Canadians, and we need solutions to increase production and expand available options to make housing accessible and affordable everyone from communities of all sizes. How can Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) be catalyzed to meet Canada’s ambitious housing goals, while contributing to the creation of equitable, vibrant, complete communities?
Embodied GHG Emissions
Research quantifying how planning decisions shape embodied GHG emissions from proposed development in five Canadian case study scenarios.
Decarbonizing Transport
Explores whether directing growth to transit-rich areas meaningfully reduces vehicle travel and emissions.
Transportation Equity
Research into how TOD affects two key metrics: transportation equity and sustainable mode shift.
Tracking Neighbourhood Changes
Explores whether TOD areas promote affordability through increased building unit construction.
Fiscal Impacts of TOD
Examines whether TOD generates net revenues or costs for municipal governments.
