Kelowna welcomes unique housing concept

The City of Kelowna is hoping to help solve the housing crunch within the city with a new project that will see new forms of housing in the urban core area.

Infill housing is the addition of new housing units to existing neighbourhoods and is an effective way to combat urban sprawl, while building resilient neighbourhoods with access to services. The city launched an innovative competition called the Infill Challenge, calling for new designs for select parts of Kelowna.
