We deeply value the role of student research in enhancing our understanding of urban planning challenges and potential solutions. Our Founder and Executive Director, Cheryll Case, began her impactful journey with a research project during her undergraduate studies, leading to professional recognition and contributions to the field. 

We are committed to fostering emerging leaders in urban planning. To this end, we're excited to share research questions that spark our interest but are beyond our current research capacity. These questions have not been fully vetted for feasibility, but we welcome any insights that students can provide, expanding our collective knowledge.

If you're a student engaged in research with at least two months of design and writing time, consider exploring these thought-provoking questions: 

1. What is the total value of property appreciation resulting from higher-order transit infrastructure development (subway, LRT, GO improvements)? How does this compare to the overall public investment required to create this new transit infrastructure?
2. Can the financial value of tenant unions' labor be quantified, and if so, how? (This investigation seeks to understand the role of tenant unions in safeguarding access to affordable housing for tenants.)
3. Are there instances where affluent neighborhoods have effectively collaborated with municipal planning authorities to increase the supply of affordable housing in their areas? What were the key individuals leading this effort, and what motivated them to advocate for increased affordable housing? Please conduct a SWOT analysis of their approach and its outcomes.

Should you decide to tackle these inquiries, please preserve your research and data files and reach out to us at Careers@CPplanning.ca.  We're eager to learn from your findings. While we're exploring this student collaboration model and may not serve as direct advisors, we're open to providing feedback and sharing our expertise at a mid-point consultation.
