A conference being staged by the HIA in May called Building Better Cities - Australia’s Density Challenge will debate the best way forward to create affordable housing.
The conference aims to focus attention on the need for versatile, flexible, and affordable strategies to promote residential development which will cater for the wants and needs of Australia’s growing population.
The Summit will stimulate debate regarding the options that exist for different types of new dwellings across infill, Brownfield, and Greenfield sites.
The Summit will bring together a diverse range of speakers to discuss contemporary experiences and consider future options for addressing one of our nation’s principal challenges — the provision of affordable housing.
The MC will be the ABC’s chief current affairs anchor, Jim Middleton.
The HIA says the event will be the premier stage for the active promotion of discussion around the challenge of housing the growing populations of Australia’s capital cities.
It will be held in conjunction with additional HIA events on 12 and 13 May 2011, including the HIA—CSR Australian Housing Awards Luncheon.
