Community Planning: SDGs, Data Capacity, and the Affordability Matrix

This explores data measures currently available to meet SDG #11’s two housing indicators of community sustainability: adequate housing and local capacity for sustainable settlement planning. We also explore the missing link, the need for a data matrix tool that links income levels for key employment sectors hospitality and tourism, health care, and seniors to municipalities’ development planning for affordable housing stock.
