This research project investigated a key challenge facing city planners in Australia over the next 30 years: how to renew older areas of multi-unit housing, providing not only economically but also socially viable solutions within a market context and enable all players –developers, policymakers and residents – to benefit from the coming city redevelopment.
The research had three main aims:
1. To identify the location, scale, market value and social profiles of the strata sector in designated urban renewal areas across greater metropolitan Sydney.
2. To establish the issues raised by strata renewal: legal, financial and institutional hurdles, market drivers, consumer perspectives and attitudes.
3. To assess the process of termination and renewal for socially equitable outcomes.
