What Europe Can Teach Canada About Missing Middle Housing: Athens, Greece
Description
In today's 'Move Smartly Ideas' episode, my colleague and co-host John Pasalis have our longer-form chat about big ideas in real estate history, policy and economics.
Today, John takes us on a tour of sunny Athens and tells us about the history of its housing and what we can learn from it as many make the case for more lower-rise high-density buildings in Toronto and other Canadian cities.
