For [Part 2] on June 25, 2020 @ 5:00pm, YVHA will host Professor Luisa Sotomayor, Assistant Professor Marcelo Vieta and Ryerson Graduate Shameeza Gafoor to overview the future of student-housing in the City. We will be following up on our discussion on the role that the marketization & commodification of housing has played in producing precarious physical and material living conditions in communities like the Village across Toronto. From the perspective of urban planning, design, and education, we'll look at how new policies, infrastructure developments, and urban planning practices are going to impact the Village, and the City’s rationale for moving forward with their decisions. Finally, we’re going to explore the alternative models of housing and student-housing, and how they can be applied in the Village.
