Canada needs 22 million new homes by 2030. UBC is working with governments, industry and communities to make that goal more achievable -- by mapping buildable land, testing faster and greener construction, and designing homes built for climate extremes.

Together, these projects could help unlock land for up to 50,000 new housing units, cut construction costs by as much as 60 per cent, and create jobs while reducing emissions.
