A Liveability Framework for Social and Affordable Higher Density Housing. Final Industry Report.

Abstract

Liveability and accessibility in higher density urban housing and precincts are critical to maximise investment and minimise future risks to our community.

This research was guided by a need to shift from a cost-based focus to better understanding the benefits and long-term value derived from liveable and accessible housing precincts. It aims to build a better understanding also of government, industry and not-for-profit roles in shaping industry structure and driving new urban forms, and improving the adoption of liveable and accessible design outcomes.

The research has developed a Liveability Framework for Medium to High-density Social and Affordable Housing. The intent is for the framework to be used by our SBEnrc partners, and the social and affordable housing sector.
