Redevelopment is the key tool in the battle to maintain existing areas. Consistent efforts to retain or increase a community’s population translate to better local infrastructure, transit, businesses and property value. Otherwise, neighbourhoods can see these key elements of urban living decline over the lifecycle of a community.

​

Here are 5 ways of redeveloping to ensure the vitality of our developed areas:

• New construction on sites that had different, pre-existing uses

• Infill development on vacant parcels of land

• Rehabilitation of previously neglected areas

• Residential infill development, where more homes are added to existing residential areas

• Adaptive re-use of existing structures
