Toronto's Inclusionary Zoning By-law

Toronto's Inclusionary Zoning By-law is a policy designed to ensure that new residential developments include affordable housing units. When developers construct new buildings, this by-law requires them to allocate a certain percentage of the units as affordable homes for low- and moderate-income residents. The goal is to create mixed-income communities, tackle housing affordability challenges, and ensure that everyone has access to housing options, regardless of their income. This approach aims to balance urban growth with social equity, helping to make the city more inclusive for all its residents.
