Laneway Homes, a potential solution to housing crisis.
Laneway homes, often built in the backyard or along the laneway of an existing property, offer a sustainable solution to housing shortages. These compact, energy-efficient dwellings are gaining popularity across urban centers for several reasons. Each city has its own set of rules regulating the zoning and permitting of laneway homes:
Space Optimization: Laneway homes utilize underutilized urban spaces without requiring new land development.
Sustainability and standardization: Many laneway homes incorporate green building techniques, including solar panels and rainwater harvesting. The provincial government is introducing standardized, customizable designs for laneway homes and other small-scale housing units.
