Equity Considerations
• Infill development can create neighbourhood gentrification. Efforts must be made not to displace equity-denied and vulnerable populations. A portion of new infill development must be made affordable.
• Developments should protect people, especially vulnerable populations, against climate change threats.
• Efficient and affordable public transport is vital in dense areas to ensure that all residents, regardless of income, have access to jobs, education, and services.
• Offering a mix of housing types (e.g., apartments, townhouses, single-family homes) can cater to different needs and preferences, accommodating a diverse population.Co-Benefits
