Laneway Housing has been described as a potential solution to some of Toronto’s housing challenges. Adding density to otherwise low-density neighbourhoods, creating more affordable housing, and making better use of parts of the city are just some of the benefits identified by Laneway Housing advocates. For a long time, City of Toronto by-laws all-but restricted Laneway Housing, but now, after years of advocacy from both within and beyond City Hall, the City has adopted new rules to enable and guide Laneway Suites. This component of the Spacing School of Urbanism curriculum is dedicated to exploring Laneway Housing.
