Housing affordability is a major challenge in many Canadian cities. Rental housing is an increasingly important tenure type, but for several decades municipal governments have faced challenges in building new rentals and preserving existing units. This article presents the first set of results from a study of rental housing policy across 15 Canadian case studies. Using a meta-analysis to compare patterns across the case studies, the paper describes the range of policy approaches and presents eleven critical success factors that were found to encourage or inhibit rental housing protection and implementation. ; L'accessibilité financière au logement est un défi majeur dans de nombreuses villes canadiennes. Le logement locatif est un type d'occupation de plus en plus important, mais pendant plusieurs décennies, les gouvernements municipaux ont été confronté à des défis majeurs concernant la construction de nouveau logements et la préservation des logements existants. Cet article présente le premier ensemble de résultats d'une étude de la politique du logement locatif à travers 15 études de cas canadiennes. À l'aide d'une méta-analyse pour comparer les tendances entre les études de cas, l'article décrit l'éventail des approches politiques et présente onze facteurs de succès critiques qui ont été trouvés pour encourages où décourager la protection et la mise en oeuvre de logements locatifs.

This book uses international case studies to present insights on the policies, actors, and institutions that are critical to successful transit-oriented development (TOD). TOD has many potential benefits for cities and regions, and is considered a critical element in reshaping sprawling car-dependent urban regions into denser regions built around transit corridors. However, it is not a magic bullet solution for metropolitan transportation problems: challenges persist, such as displacement of local residents and regulatory barriers. How has TOD been successfully implemented? How can we integrate the positive aspects of TOD while minimizing its negative impacts? This book presents a study conducted at the University of Amsterdam, exploring 11 international case studies, including a meta-analysis, rough set analysis and policy transfer workshops. The authors discuss the findings and present solutions to persistent challenges to transit-oriented development. Additional literature on eTOD (equitable TOD) strategies, as a fundamental component of planning for regional transportation, shows that these approaches can result in more collaborative processes, community-led development that minimizes the negative impacts of transportation infrastructure. As our Dutch colleagues stated, TOD can be considered a policy concept that can be used as a story to unite people.
