Housing and Inner City Redevelopment

These guidelines can help individuals, organisations, and agencies involved in the planning, design and development of homes, neighbourhoods and communities. They are intended mainly for local government officials who are at the forefront of making decisions on land use, site and neighbourood design, housing, green building development, agreements, and public-private partnerships. Municipal planners, engineers, commissioners, council members, and others must grapple with making the right decisions on projects of all sizes, as they strive to make their communities more livable and sustainable. These guidelines can provide a framework to help these local decision-makers guide development, preserve open space, provide housing that is affordable and energy efficient, and create neighbourhoods that are enjoyable and walkable.
