Alexandra Flynn

Dr. Alexandra Flynn is an Associate Professor at UBC’s Allard School of Law and the Director of the Housing Research Collaborative. Her teaching and research focus on municipal law and governance. She has published numerous peer-reviewed papers, public reports, media articles, and books on how cities are legally understood in law and how they govern, including the constitutional status of cities. The Housing Research Collaborative comprises CMHC and SSHRC-funded projects focused on Canada’s housing crisis: the Housing Assessment Resource Tools project, which helps communities to measure and address their housing need; and the Balanced Supply of Housing Node, which brings together academic and non-profit community organizations to research responsive land use practices and the financialization of housing.
