加拿大推出免费住房设计目录,以加快建筑速度,但专家说,要负担得起,需要进行更广泛的改革。 Canada launches free housing design catalogue to speed construction, but experts say broader reforms needed for affordability.

渥太华推出了免费住房设计目录,配有50个预先设计的房屋设计,以加快加拿大各地的建筑工程,提供几乎就绪的成套技术,将发展时限缩短3至6个月。 Ottawa has launched a free Housing Design Catalogue with 50 pre-engineered home designs to speed up construction across Canada, offering nearly permit-ready technical packages to cut development timelines by three to six months. 该计划由CMHC开发,在2024年的预算中获得1160万美元的资金,包括建筑图纸,能源报告和成本估计,并正在被耶洛克尼夫和太华等城市采用,该计划计划在2026年快速获得许可. Funded with $11.6 million in the 2024 budget, the initiative, developed by CMHC, includes architectural drawings, energy reports, and cost estimates, and is being adopted by cities like Yellowknife and Ottawa, which plans a fast-track permitting program in 2026. 虽然官员说目录有助于解决住房短缺问题, 但专家警告说, 高建筑成本、劳动力短缺及土地价格仍是负担能力的关键障碍, While officials say the catalogue helps address housing shortages, experts caution that high construction costs, labor shortages, and land prices remain key barriers to affordability, emphasizing that design alone isn’t enough without broader policy changes.
