Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Toronto faces a convergence of urban challenges: rising loneliness, a record number of single-person households, and a growing exodus of young adults driven by affordability and lack of community. Simultaneously, the city’s housing stock remains dominated by carbon-intensive concrete construction, despite Canada’s rich timber resources. This thesis explores collective living as an innovative response to these issues, focusing on a transformative residential intervention adjacent to Allan Gardens, a historically significant but currently neglected urban landmark. The proposed co-living block integrates diverse unit types to foster a multi-generational community. By prioritizing shared spaces and community amenities, the project aims to combat social isolation and revitalize the area’s social fabric. Timber construction and environmental strategies, such as rainwater retention, biodiversity, and circular material use are employed to minimize carbon impact and enhance climate resilience. The thesis positions co-living not merely as a housing typology, but as a catalyst for urban renewal, social sustainability, and ecological stewardship. Ultimately, it argues that a thoughtfully designed collective living model can restore Allan Gardens’ role as a vibrant urban heart, offering a replicable framework for equitable, low-carbon communities in Toronto and beyond.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
