The Government of Canada is investing $10M into 18 applied research projects that are designed to address the country’s housing and infrastructure needs. Eight of these projects are led by postsecondary institutions: McGill University, McMaster University, Polytechnique Montréal, Queen’s University, Toronto Metropolitan University, the University of British Columbia, the University of New Brunswick, and the University of Toronto. The funded projects will address diverse mandates, such as developing a platform to help cities assess the affordability of residential regions and advancing the use of 3D-printed concrete technology in housing construction. Together, the projects aim to generate innovative solutions to the housing challenges faced by Canadian communities.
