SUMMARY:Thinking Beyond the Market: The Path to Genuinely Affordable Housing
DESCRIPTION:How can national housing research be translated into local\, livable reality? Join UBC Connects at Robson Square for a screening of Thinking Beyond the Market\, a film by Dr. Brian Doucet that uncovers “hiding in plain sight” housing solutions across Canada. From non-market developments in Kitchener to Indigenous-led projects in Vancouver\, the film challenges us to view housing as a human right rather than just a commodity. \nFollowing the screening\, Andrea Reimer (UBC School of Public Policy and Global Affairs) will moderate an integrated dialogue featuring experts from Djaka Blais (Hogan’s Alley Society)\, Craig Jones (Housing Assessment Resource Tools)\, and the filmmaker Dr. Brian Doucet. By connecting the film’s national themes to the local work of the Housing Assessment Resource Tool (HART) group and Hogan’s Alley\, the panel will explore how research-backed strategies in land use and tenant protection can overcome the unique barriers to affordability in Vancouver. \nFree and open to all.
