Infill From All Angles

Panel Discussion

Infill isn’t just about buildings — it’s about how we shape the places where people live, work, and gather. Join us for an interactive, education focused CREW session that explores infill redevelopment from every angle: what it is, what it isn’t, and where it’s headed.

Instead of a traditional panel, you’ll move through a series of small group table discussions led by local experts in planning, development, design, and policy. Each table will dive into a different facet of infill — from zoning realities and bylaw navigation to architectural intent, community impact, misconceptions, and the commercial, mixed use, and multi family development perspective.

Every 10–15 minutes, you’ll rotate to a new conversation, meet new people, and gain practical insight into how infill projects move from concept to construction within evolving neighbourhoods. The format is designed to be candid, conversational, and grounded in real world experience. Bring your questions. Bring your curiosity.

Whether you work in real estate, design, planning, construction, or simply want a deeper understanding of how great urban projects come together, this session offers a fresh, collaborative look at infill in practice — and the space to explore it from all sides.
