The Ever-Shrinking Condo.

Between 2005 and 2010, the average size of a new condo oscillated between 875 and 925 square feet (Perkins 2014). By 2015, a new condo average size is 797 square feet according to RealNet Canada. During this period, we witnessed in Vancouver, Toronto and Montréal, the rise of the micro-condo, which varies, from 226 square feet to 395 square feet. This article examines potential economic, demographic and cultural causes and consequences of the rise of micro-condos and their impact on the urban landscape and public space. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
