Housing markets do not stop at municipal boundaries, but governance often does. As affordability pressures are increasingly shaped by dynamics that extend beyond city limits, it becomes essential to coordinate planning, land strategies, and housing targets across jurisdictions. When land use decisions, planning priorities, and fiscal incentives are not aligned, delivering affordable housing where it is most needed becomes more difficult. The discussion will focus on regional planning tools, shared housing targets, and coordinated land strategies as ways to align local interests with broader metropolitan housing goals, while opening a reflection on the role of inter-municipal cooperation.
