Regent Park transformation showcased at World Urban Pavilion | CMHC

The World Urban Pavilion is a knowledge-sharing platform created to showcase urban innovation, research, and practical approaches to building more inclusive, sustainable communities. This resource uses Toronto’s Regent Park transformation as a case study to demonstrate how large-scale social housing renewal can combine mixed-income redevelopment, resident engagement, public spaces, community facilities, and cross-sector partnerships. For the community housing sector, it offers a practical example of how complex neighbourhood revitalization can be planned and communicated, while connecting Canadian housing practitioners to broader lessons on social housing renewal and inclusive urban development.
