Can Indigenous urbanism counter Vancouver’s pressing lack of housing?

Vancouver is experiencing a severe housing shortage, worsened by foreign investment, making it hard for middle and low-income residents to afford living there. The Squamish Nation is addressing this by reclaiming land and developing the Senakw project, which will include 6,000 rental units, with 1,200 designated for low-income residents. Despite its aim to alleviate the housing crisis, the project faces opposition from locals worried about density and infrastructure. It represents a shift in power dynamics and economic opportunity for First Nations.
