Lifetime Affordable Housing in Australia: Integrating environmental performance and affordability

现有住房和郊区住房相对于就业中心的位置导致大量温室气体排放。水和其他环境问题对住房绩效也很重要，目前人们认为这些因素与住房的可负担性之间存在着一种权衡。在澳大利亚，这是第一次，这项研究将重点放在克服这一明显的政策困境。该研究将为未来的住房政策提供信息，以加强澳大利亚的经济和社会结构，同时为澳大利亚的国家研究优先事项1“环境可持续的澳大利亚”做出贡献。其成果将为澳大利亚的国家经济、社会、水资源利用和温室气体排放带来重大效益。

Existing dwellings and the locations of suburban housing with respect to employment centres result in significant greenhouse gas emissions. Water and other environmental issues are also important in housing performance, and there is currently a perceived trade-off between these factors and the affordability of housing. For the first time in Australia, this study will focus on overcoming this apparent policy dilemma. The research will inform future housing policy in strengthening Australia's economic and social fabric, while contributing towards Australia's National Research Priority 1 'Environmentally Sustainable Australia'. Outcomes will provide significant national economic, social, water use and greenhouse gas benefits for Australia.
