This research reviewed and compared emerging approaches to planning for affordable housing in Australia, with a focus on models being applied in urban renewal contexts in Brisbane, Adelaide and Sydney. It examined the factors that shaped the design and introduction of these models, their effectiveness to date, their integration with other available affordable housing policies, incentives and subsidies, and the potential for them to be made more effective. The researchers working on the project were Gethin Davison, Nicole Gurran, Ryan Van den Nouwelant, Simon Pinnegar and Bill Randolph.
