  • Gil Yaron
    Imagine if you could reduce the costs of building affordable housing while reducing the carbon footprint of it at the same time. This week I’m joined by Gil Yaron, who is the Managing Director of Circular Innovation of Light House, an organization based in Vancouver working on advancing regenerative and circular practices in the built environment. Gil and I talk about how we can reuse buildings through relocation instead of demolition, and as well reuse building materials to increase the supply of affordable housing we so desperately need. A fascinating conversation about working differently to produce multiple wins with both affordable housing and climate change.
