Abstract

This research explores how the lack of diversity in newly constructed, mass produced, cookie-cutter type neighbourhoods affected trajectories in response to the Great Recession. Results suggest that design characteristics influenced home sales prices over time and post-Recession, but not when initially sold. Homes in more resilient neighbourhoods have greater façade variation, access to nearby amenities, and open spaces than the non-resilient, but much less proximity to transit. The building in, i.e. what developers are providing and what municipalities are approving, of diversity in design of homes and neighbourhoods through better zoning codes contributed to positive outcomes and increased neighbourhood resilience.
