Help to shape our future housing environments

I’m passionate about the potential for a strategic, integrated, pan-political housing policy agenda to achieve improved and socially-diffuse outcomes. As such, at 66, I’m committing my intellectual energy and time to helping shape future housing environments with better outcomes. I have a deep understanding of urban development combined with a strong social conscience and I’m keen to contribute to advancing housing initiatives founded on sustainable community-led criteria. My research focus is learning about housing policy and not-for-profit cooperative housing systems from around the world that have produced better access, affordability and spatial quality outcomes and how we can apply those learnings to help drive positive societal change and shape our future housing environments.

I’m researching these issues for a Master of Philosophy at Auckland University of Technology School of Future Environments — as a foundation year for a Doctor of Philosophy research project.
