Taproot presents a special project exploring what works, what doesn't, and what can be done to improve Edmonton's housing ecosystem as we head into the 2025 municipal election. There are no simple solutions to the problems of a complex system that hurts some and rewards others. But the path toward improvement begins with a common understanding of the issues.
