Craig E. Jones

Craig E. Jones is a PhD candidate in the Department of Geography at the University of British Columbia, and is currently the research coordinator for the UBC Housing Research Collaborative.

His current research is a comparative study of five rental neighbourhoods in Metro Vancouver’s suburban centres. Craig employs a mixed-method approach to utilizing a variety of data sources in his study. He is exploring how transportation and land use planning, municipal housing policy and the development industry have increased redevelopment pressure on aging, purpose-built rental apartment buildings that provide affordable housing for marginalized renters such as low-income people, recent immigrants and refugees.
