Many of Toronto's suburban neighbourhoods pose a significant challenge to creating a culture of walking. These neighbourhoods have been planned with a primary focus on accommodating automobiles. As a result, suburban roads are generally wide and land use is usually segregated, typically with large clusters of high-rise apartment buildings or self-enclosed subdivisions alternating with large retail complexes.

  • Urban Housing
CONT

Middle housing refers to a range of smaller attached or clustered housing types that are typically built at a similar scale as single-family detached houses. The term "missing middle" housing was coined by [an urban planner] to refer to housing that fits in between single-family homes and larger apartment buildings but that's largely been missing from most cities’ neighborhood patterns for the last 70 years. Middle housing can include duplexes, triplexes, quadplexes, townhouses, cottage clusters, accessory dwelling units(ADUs), courtyard apartments and other similar housing.
