In 2018, the Urbanarium held the Missing Middle Competition to invite explorations of ideas to address Metro Vancouver’s housing affordability and social well-being challenges and to increase density incrementally on sites of one or two standard residential lots. Enter the Mixing Middle Competition, which included mixed-use in the program of gentle densification.

Summary:
In 2018 Urbanarium held an international design competition to develop and present exciting options for addressing Metro Vancouver’s unprecedented housing affordability crisis and social health challenges with outstanding design and social innovation. This document contains both the insight and policy recommendations gathered from the various competition entries for adding innovative density to existing single-family zones. Included are the winning projects located in one of four sites in Vancouver, Port Coquitlam, Burnaby and Surrey. Results from this competition inform the “Policy Impact Proposal,” suggesting five small shifts in current zoning policy that can contribute to housing affordability and vibrancy in communities, while maintaining existing character.
