- Research
The urban development process is complex, characterised by a plurality of actors, decisions, delays, and competing priorities that affect the integration of health and wellbeing.
- Research
How should one establish cooperation among involved participants? There is no single or simple answer to how communication is established with stakeholder groups, yet from these three cases, we confirm what is known in rural development. There is no substitute for personal contacts, individual conversations, and building trust among the players: local groups, research organization, and project personnel. Meetings with stakeholders, building personal relationships, and clear communication within an environment of mutual respect are all essential.
- Research
The built environments in which we live, work and play, have a critical role in shaping our health. The Healthy Built Environment Indicators presented here are based on this knowledge. The focus of the Indicators is on how the built environment supports physical activity (to reduce obesity, the risk of heart disease, some cancers and depression), social interaction (to reduce risk of mental illness, particularly depression), and the availability of healthy food (to reduce obesity and risk of heart disease and some cancers).

This research explores what is required for sustainable Indigenous housing in regional and remote Australia to deliver positive health and wellbeing outcomes for householders, so that housing stock is maintained at high levels over time and is designed with climate change challenges in mind.
- Research
With a growing community housing sector that is being increasingly seen by government as the growth provider for affordable housing in the future and with organisations wanting to set up CLTs but lacking the knowledge to do so, Louise’s team set out to find a solution. As a result they developed two main options: long-term leasehold and shared equity of the entire house and land.

This report is part of the AHURI Inquiry into Population Growth, Migration and Agglomeration. The aim of the
Inquiry is to interrogate Australian and international evidence on the range of costs and benefits associated with agglomeration economies, when these effects may arise, how they might change with city scale, and how they might depend on spatial context
- Research
The study finds that macro-scale population projections over the long term largely align with overall population changes.
The bulk of Australia’s population growth has been concentrated in major cities, where projections were exceeded on the outer edges and inner-city areas. Regional Australia has shared overall population growth, with only a few areas recording absolute population decline.
- Research
If Community or Social Housing providers are to take responsibility for acquiring, maintaining, upgrading, renewing and redeveloping housing stock and establishing themselves as sound asset managers, then the social housing sector needs to be informed by best practice asset management.
