The Equity Gap

What if we owned the land together: Community Land Trusts

What would it mean to own land together — and keep it affordable, forever? This first episode of The Equity Gap explores the growing movement of community land trusts: organizations that remove land from the speculative market and put it under community control. From Toronto's Kensington Market to Ottawa and Waterloo Region, meet the people working to close the equity gap standing between communities and the land beneath their feet.
