Come and join us and fellow DIN members as we spend an hour in the company of Jean Marc La Flamme live from Canada as we explore housing innovation Canadian style. If you're after some fresh thinking and inspiration to solve housing challenges then you will enjoy meeting Jean Marc.

About this event

This will be a leadership webinar focussed on understanding how Canada is tackling a range of housing challenges from affordability, climate change to smart cities. From practical immediate solutions to longer term more radical thinking about fundamentally changing the way we live, Canada has something for everyone working in social housing.

Part presentation, part interview, part discussion with opportunities for delegates to ask Jean Marc directly themselves any questions they may have.

What will we cover?

• Canada's National Housing Supply Challenge

• Living Labs as experimental zones or “sandboxes” for communities to rapidly innovate housing and living infrastructure

• Civic Engagement Platforms for communities to have transparent debate and vote on solutions

• Hundreds of real affordable living solutions for the UK

• How to best position the affordable housing and regenerative living narrative for the general public
