THE GREAT INVERSION
Millennials & Baby Boomers are driving the great inversion in North American Cities:
- Culture Shift - Millennials want ‘other things’ than the
suburban dream.
- Baby Boomers want to walk to their favorite restaurant,
have a bottle (or two) of wine and not have to drive.
- Afgordability.
- Traffjc Congestion - just becoming too much.
- Variety & Amenities - more options for urban living and
more access to amenities.
- Health & Sustainability - people like to walk; paying
more attention to sustainability - social, economic and environmental.

REFRAMING GROWTH
Reframing Growth
- Perception that Downtown should be where all
intensifjcation happens.
- Perception that gradual transition between Downtown &
Suburbs not necessary or intended.
- Winnipeg - refmected in lack of intensifjcation policies;
- ver regulation; penalizing infjll through uncertainty
(NIMBY, uniform fee/development cost structure; complex & risky system - no guarantees - Only major city in English Canada without infjll guidelines to allow growth.
- Other cities - permissive intensifjcation policies &
targets - some mandated by other levels of government; stripping away of regulation; incentivizing through pre-zoning, reduction in fees & charges on a district basis.
