Regent Park Redux

Reinventing Public Housing in Canada

Beschreibung

Regent Redux evaluates one of the biggest experiments in public housing redevelopment from the tenant perspective. This book, based on a ten-year study of 52 households as they moved through stages of displacement and resettlement, examines the dreams and hopes residents have for their community and their future. Urban planners and designers across the world, in cities facing some of the same challenges as Toronto, will want to pay attention to this story.
