    Panel 1: Municipal Comprehensive Reviews
    Ontario municipalities will align their Official Plans to the provincial growth plan next year. What policy changes can we expect with this review, including urban boundary expansion and intensification targets?

    Panel 2: Red Tape Reduction
    Market pressure to accelerate the development approvals process and unlock land for housing supply is intensifying. How are public bodies responding to these demands and what other ways to streamline the processes of getting to permit can we anticipate?

    Panel 3: Supply, Supply, Supply
    A prevailing supply-side mantra is the dominant theme of current public policy focus on delivering housing affordability. But can the Province and municipalities deliver the scale of supply necessary to match the population growth projections in the near and mid-term?

    Panel 4: Urban Infrastructure Constraints
    Underlying all policy reforms, red tape reduction and market forces is the reality of existing and potential serviceable land supply and other critical public infrastructure necessary to facilitate development and population growth. What are the critical infrastructure priorities looking forward, and what are the implications for future settlement in the region?
