The Demand for Higher Density Housing in Sydney and Melbourne

这项研究将支持发展更具社会可持续性的方法来规划澳大利亚城市的高密度住房。该项目将提高我们对高密度城市变化过程的理解（以及这种发展的风险），为更好的土地利用结果提供信息，帮助减少潜在的社区冲突，并增强城市地区更广泛的社会可持续性，从而加强澳大利亚城市的社会结构。这项研究还将增加围绕建设高密度城市的好处（或坏处）以及空间分割的城市住房市场结构的学术辩论。

The research will support the development of more socially sustainable approaches to the planning of higher density housing in Australian cities. The project will improve our understanding of the processes driving higher density urban change (and therefore the risks of such development), inform better land use outcomes, assist in reducing potential community conflict over development proposals, and enhance wider social sustainability of urban areas, thereby strengthening the social fabric of Australian cities. The research will also add to academic debates surrounding the benefits (or non-benefits) of building higher density cities and on the structure of spatially segmented urban housing markets.
