In this case it's interesting to note that while the massive post-war housing crisis spurned action this didn't really take notable effect until the early 1950s. There were some immediate post-war projects but a significant percentage of the population growth was still accommodated by piecemeal borderline-informal development at urban fringes, while urban cores remained very dense. It wasn't until higher amounts of Federal funding to the CMHC helped spurn better quality developments that could actually being to address the issue.
Hard to say whether we could repeat the situation even in real terms, much less the political will to do so.
