Introduction

Ours is a rapidly urbanizing world, with the latest UN projections at 70 percent of 9 billion people living in cities by 2050. Underlying that challenging future, neck-and-neck with the climate crisis, is the perpetual issue of accessible and affordable housing for every citizen.

In Canada, top-level conversation about housing starts at the desk of Romy Bowers, president and CEO of the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC).  Host Mary Rowe talks to Ms.Bowers about how CMHC is adapting, collaborating and innovating to meet that challenge for all Canadians.
