Good Morning Canada with Nav & Nav

Toronto’s condominiums - Through the looking glass of doom Over the past few decades, condominiums have become a highly popular choice for real estate property in Toronto because of their modern amenities and a multitude of personalized facilities. Their ability to attract an upwardly mobile, urban client makes them an ideal choice for individuals wishing to locate in prime, downtown Toronto spots with easy access to transits and shopping centres In this episode we examine t...he spatial transformation of Canada’s largest housing market, Toronto. We review the policy framework that supported and regulated condo growth and explore implications of continued restructuring. In particular, the struggle with housing affordability and why Toronto has created little purpose-built rental housing over the past 40 years? Even more worrying, house prices have decoupled from income, and are driven by access to capital which gives investors and speculators a clear advantage over average working Canadians. The question has now become, For Whom are we building? Urban planning policies have been redirected towards high density housing stock in pursuit of centralized civic expansion. This rapacious model of growth towards the urban heartlands is reliant on highly leveraged capital investment ad neo-liberal state policies. It has also promoted a process of gentrification which has transformed the Toronto’s urban core. We also explore the myriad of changes which have occurred and their implications for social issues and the emergence of various forms of capitalist urbanization and restructuring policies of modern cities.
