Urban Infill: Findings from Canadian and United States Case Studies
Looking for ways to stem the tide of middle - class migration and accommodate more urban development, Canada and the United States shared the results of their research into the potential for developing vacant or underused urban land as a development strategy. This report sets out their findings on infill opportunities and constraints, comparing the costs of urban infill versus suburban development and suggesting appropriate Government action. Each country examined infill opportunities in three cities, each with different development pressures and geographical characteristics. The cities represented either fast growing, moderately growing, or declining regions. Research teams worked with city and county staff as part of their field analyses. The results indicate how much land is considered potential infill land, the feasibility of infill in terms of local economic and market conditions, and whether infrastructure support will be adequate. In addition, it addresses antidevelopment attitudes and their effect on infill development as well as other concerns. A few charts and tables are supplied, and a list of source reports is appended.
