Regent Park Redux evaluates one of the biggest experiments in
public housing redevelopment from the tenant perspective. Built in
the 1940s, Toronto's Regent Park has experienced common large-scale
public housing problems. Instead of simply tearing down old
buildings and scattering inhabitants, the city's housing authority
came up with a plan for radical transformation. In partnership with
a private developer, the Toronto Community Housing Corporation
organized a twenty-year, billion-dollar makeover. The reconstituted
neighbourhood, one of the most diverse in the world, will offer a
new mix of amenities and social services intended to "reknit the
urban fabric." Regent Park Redux, based on a ten-year study of 52
households as they moved through stages of displacement and
resettlement, examines the dreams and hopes residents have for
their community and their future. Urban planners and designers
across the world, in cities facing some of the same challenges as
Toronto, will want to pay attention to this story.
