It also connects residents to resources like maps and data that city planners use to help guide their work.
Housing is also top of mind for many Mississauga residents. They have questions about how neighbourhoods are changing, housing affordability and the City’s role in delivering more housing. The Guide provides:
- An overview of the City’s housing targets
- The City’s role and plans for delivering affordable housing
- Information about how development applications get approved
Education and providing open and transparent access to data is a primary goal in the City’s Housing Action Plan. Visit Growing Mississauga to learn more about the City’s efforts to get more homes built, streamline building approvals and make homes more affordable.
“The work we do in Mississauga’s planning and building division affects everyone who lives, works and visits the City. While planning can be complicated, it doesn’t have to be. That’s why we developed our new Guide to City Planning and Development. From housing targets to deciding where new buildings should go, it’s designed to help answer the questions we hear most from our residents and guide them through the changes they are experiencing.” -Andrew Whittemore, Commissioner, Planning and Building, City of Mississauga
