Community Wellbeing: A Social Framework for Domicide
From: Resisting Eviction
$2.70
Chapter 9 continues a chronological trajectory documenting the wider struggle and events unfolding around the redevelopment proposal for the neighbourhood. Crosby provides a window into the consultation efforts and community meetings about the landlord-developer’s “master plan” for redevelopment, which is based on the Conference Board of Canada’s Community Wellbeing Framework (see dialog 2022). He explores the framework’s emphasis on getting investment returns and shaping desirable conduct, before moving into a deeper investigation of the redevelopment proposal itself. The City of Ottawa greenlit the proposal and demolition of 559 more homes in 2021. Crosby further examines the municipal-developer nexus, including the role of municipal actors and their ties to the real estate development industry.
