     This unique event is designed to foster dialogue between Canada and China on a range of issues related to housing.

    Notwithstanding their different economic and political contexts, both countries depend heavily on the private sector to produce housing and on development to fund urban infrastructure. The workshop will compare issues, policies, strategies, and incentives as well as identifying best practices. It presents a unique and important opportunity for exchange.

    The one-day workshop will be structured into four, 90-minute, moderated panel discussion drawing on the expertise of subject-matter experts from both countries.

    The day will feature four moderated panel discussions with subject-matter experts from both countries:
