Time:<\/b> Friday, June 2, 5:30 \u2013 7:30 (book talk 6-7)<\/p>\n

Join us as Max Holleran (University of Melbourne) launches his new book\u00a0Yes to the City<\/i>\u00a0on the growing Yes In My Backyard (YIMBY) housing movement in North America.<\/p>\n

From its origins in San Francisco to its current cadre of activists pushing for new apartment towers in places like Boulder, Austin, and London, Holleran provides a detailed account of\u00a0YIMBY\u00a0activists campaigning for construction, new zoning rules, better public transit, and even candidates for local and state office.\u00a0YIMBY\u00a0groups draw together an unlikely coalition, from developers and real estate agents to environmentalists, and Holleran looks at the increasingly contentious battles between market-driven pragmatists and rent-control idealists.<\/p>\n

Max Holleran’s new book has received praise from across the political spectrum from the likes of Sharon Zukin and Edward Glaser. It is certain generate a thought-provoking conversation on the causes of and solutions to the current affordable housing crisis in Toronto.<\/p>\n
