Diagnosing Displacement

Across Canada, billions of dollars are being invested in transit and transit-oriented development. These investments can create new opportunities for housing, mobility and more complete communities — but they can also contribute to pressures that make it harder for existing residents and businesses to remain.

The challenge is that we still do not have a consistent way to understand, measure or anticipate these pressures.

Diagnosing Displacement will bring together researchers, municipalities, transit agencies, governments, housing organizations and community partners to examine how transit-oriented displacement can be better identified and measured in Canada — and how better evidence can support earlier and more effective action.
