Housing experts are calling for a similar approach to policy in Canada .

They argue widespread adoption of affordable housing, co-housing and advanced building techniques could all play a role in improving Canada ’s housing system.

Such ideas are already well-entrenched in many parts of Europe .

France has committed to making 20 per cent of its housing “non-market” housing non-markets” through a combination of buying buildings and constructing new ones.
