What future for public housing? A critical analysis

This Research Paper provides a discussion about the historical processes and factors that have shaped public housing in Australia. The intention is to provide a baseline that can inform the next stage of the investigation on the long-term future of Australian public housing. It begins by setting out the current housing context and the strategic questions of the overall project. The key sections of the Research Paper provide a comparative discussion of both UK and Australian post-war housing to show the rationale for policy intervention and the processes that shape housing outcomes. This Research Paper concludes by outlining how the empirical phases of research will be undertaken and a summary of what we consider are the most pressing long term issues that SHAs are required to address.
