Why Loosening Elevator Policy Means More Homes: Stephen Smith @MarketUrbanism at the Missing Middle Summit 2024
Description
On May 23, professionals who work in the industry to develop missing middle housing, as well as those interested in building them, gathered at the Toronto Reference Library for a one-day conference.
The Missing Middle podcast team spoke to the presenters and will be sharing those interviews with you each week on Fridays throughout the next month.
Stephen Smith works for the Center for Building in North America, and he discusses how strict elevator policy in this continent has cut down on the number of homes available. It also dictates what types of homes are being built. He proposes a number of changes that could hopefully lead to more and better homes in North America.
