Abstract
In this paper the history of Canadian Housing R&D programs is reviewed and the strengths and weaknesses of these programs are assessed. Government programs that sought to promote innovation directly, subsidy programs for the private sector, and demonstration programs are looked at. Urban development projects as well as small-scale technological innovation dissemination efforts are considered, and the lessons that program administrators have gained from past programs and present guidelines for program design are presented.Keywords
