How do we increase affordability through the sharing economy?

We’re developing a new building for makers in the sharing economy. And we’re interested in how you live, work, and play in Vancouver. We’ve crafted a fun online survey that asks 15 interesting questions and takes only 10 minutes. Take our survey!

While Vancouver tops the list of world’s most livable cities, many citizens describe it as unaffordable. As developers, we usually approach the affordability issue through dollars per square foot leading to smaller condos or designing multi-functional spaces. What if we looked at affordability holistically by decreasing costs and increasing income? What if we explored not only special factors but also financial and social innovation, especially from emerging fields such as sharing economy and passive house?
