Designing for social resilience means creating spaces that bring people together, support everyday connections, and help residents adapt through change.

In this video, PUBLIC Architecture’s John Wall and BC Housing’s Cindy Moran explore the design decisions that brought resilience into the planning process from the project’s earliest stages.

Learnings from Vienna House are being applied to BC Housing’s Digitally Accelerated Standardized Housing (DASH) program. DASH uses digital tools and standardized designs to speed up construction. These lessons on social resilience will support creating social spaces in BC Housing projects and prefabricated housing across the province.
