Listen "Single Serves ep. 304 - Blonder on Smart Density"

Episode Synopsis

Naama Blonder has a bold vision to change what good development can and should look like. With that in mind, she co founded Smart density in 2017. Her professional work spans across planning and architecture. And by marrying the two disciplines, she brings a deeper and more realistic understanding of how municipal policies take physical.
She's also the subject matter expert for the city of Toronto expanding housing options in our neighborhoods committee, a board member of Cahuilla an affordable housing provider. She also coauthored the housing affordability report of the Ontario association of architects and served at the design review panel for the city of Burlington, where she provided urban design advice for development applications.
Last, but not least, she practices what she preaches and lives with her husband and child in a multifamily building in a transit accessible area of Toronto near the local park.
