Constructing a solution to the housing crisis

TRSM - Like Nobody's Business

The housing market has transformed dramatically in the last few years, especially due to factors like inflation, immigration levels, the cost of living and capacity constraints. It’s a topic being discussed everywhere and at every level of impact– housing is expensive and there’s only so much regulation that can be implemented to soften the blow of a harsh market. So, what can we do about it? What should we expect to see from the government? And is building more homes really the answer? Today, we’ll explore these questions.

Listen to Murtaza Haider, a professor of Real Estate Management and Associate Dean, Graduate Programs at the Ted Rogers School of Management, provide his expertise on the topic. Murtaza is also the research director of the Urban Analytics Institute and has published research on issues ranging from public transportation, to building cities, to urbanization and infrastructure in Canada.
