Palmerston North City Council Creative City Conversations: Housing for Health and Wellbeing

TUA's Managing Director, Greer O'Donnell, shared examples of housing models that have evolved in response to rising house prices and housing inequality as part of Palmerston North City Council's Creative City Conversations

"A diverse housing ecosystem forms an essential part of any highly functioning and creative city, but housing in New Zealand has largely been commodified - viewed as a way to build wealth, with negative consequences for the majority of low-to-moderate income earners."

- Greer O'Donnell

Greer's talk highlights international models and local examples that prioritise community and wellbeing over profit and wealth creation, and outlines what cities like Palmy can do to expedite the development of more diverse, fit-for-purpose and affordable housing stock.
