CMHC's flagship publication, the Canadian Housing Observer 2007 has just
been released, presents a detailed review of housing trends in Canada and
the key factors behind them, combining national coverage with provincial and
metropolitan detail. The Observer's feature article this year discusses
approaches, such as CMHC's EQuilibrium housing initiative, for improving the
sustainability of housing, particularly through increased energy efficiency
and reduced water consumption. Also new this year is a discussion of housing
conditions based on the annual Statistics Canada Survey of Labour and Income
Dynamics (SLID). The print publication of the Observer is complemented by a
broad range of online housing market and housing conditions HYPERLINK

What role does a city's physical attributes, such as the pattern of streets,
land use, open spaces, or transportation connections to other
neighbourhoods, play in a community's social development? Through a
literature review, interviews with key informants and a panel discussion,
this research project explored the link between urban form and social
inclusion in a Canadian context. The aim of the study was to review existing
research about the impact of urban form and social inclusion; to identify
emerging thinking; discover what other research is being done and identify
research gaps.

Did you know…
That population growth in metropolitan areas, is still dominated by growth
in the suburbs? From 2001 to 2006 municipalities on the periphery of
metropolitan areas grew at more than double the rate of central
municipalities – 11.1 per cent vs. 4.2 per cent.
