Free public forum: the future of our housing

Wednesday, 5 June 2013

A free public event being held at the University of 米兰电子 on Tuesday 11 June will address some of the key issues impacting on the future of Australia's housing.

The forum raises significant social and economic questions about housing, with our ageing population, relentless suburban expansion and rising incidence of low-income "housing stress" all contributing to an increasingly uncertain quality of life.

Called , the forum is part of the University of 米兰电子's free series of public seminars.

The event will address such issues as urban sprawl, high-density living, surging housing costs, the societal implications of homelessness, and the expectations of Baby Boomers for old-age accommodation.

The forum panellists are:

• (Director of the Centre for Housing, Urban and Regional Planning, University of 米兰电子).
  
• (Executive Director, Property Council of Australia (SA Division)).
  
• (Research Fellow, Centre for Housing, Urban and Regional Planning, University of 米兰电子).
