A new journal article by 3ci Senior Research Fellow <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/3ci\/people\/edward-t-jackson\/\">Ted Jackson<\/a> and UWCRC CEO Jeremy Read, entitled Less Talk, More Builds, takes readers through the origins, mandate, structure and project portfolio of this unique economic development vehicle. \u00a0The piece is part of a special issue of the Engaged Scholar Journal on housing security. Amid North America\u2019s affordable housing crisis, universities and colleges, engaged scholars and community leaders in cities across the continent should study both UWCRC and its residential tower model and consider adapting and replicating these innovative instruments of change.
