As a response to Toronto’s housing crisis, this project proposes prototypes for developing incremental density as an alternative to high-rise construction that is faster, more liveable, and better integrated with existing neighborhoods. Through a gradual process of change, density can be increased on main streets by constructing multi-unit buildings on lots that are currently dominated by single-family homes. Agency is given to small-scale owner ‘developers’ to convert their properties, stimulating gradual increases in density for neighborhood intensification.
