Guest: Matti Siemiatycki, director on University of Toronto’s Infrastructure Institute
Earlier this month, a scathing report from Ontario’s auditor general revealed that Premier Doug Ford’s decision to open up land for development in the protected Greenbelt area might have been influenced by well-connected developers who stand to make billions of dollars. In the aftermath of growing calls for resignation and political pressure, the Ford government seems undeterred in its plans for development on Greenbelt land. Ford says it’s the only way to tackle the massive housing crisis, but is that really accurate and do we really need to build on the Greenbelt to fix the housing crisis? We explore this question with an expert.
This episode was produced by Saba Eitizaz, Paolo Marques and Julia De Laurentiis Johnston.
