In recent years many nations have asked why not enough housing is
being built or, when it is built, why it isn't of the highest
quality or in the best, most sustainable, locations. Politics,
Planning and Housing Supply in Australia, England and Hong Kong
examines the politics and planning of new homes in three very
different settings, but with shared political traditions: in
Australia, in England and in Hong Kong. It investigates the
power-relationships and politics that underpin the allocation of
land for large-scale residential schemes and the processes and
politics that lead to particular development outcomes. Using a
comparative framework, it asks: how different systems of urban
governance and planning mediate the supply of land for housing;
whether and how these system differences influence the location,
quantity and price of residential land and the implications for
housing outcomes; what can be learned from these different systems
for allocating land, building consensus between different
stakeholders, and delivering a steady supply of high quality and
well located homes accessible to, and appropriate for, diverse
housing needs. This book frames each case study in a comprehensive
examination of national and territorial frameworks before
dissecting key local cases. These local cases - urban renewal and
greenfield growth centres in Australia, new towns and strategic
sites in England, and major development schemes in Hong Kong -
explore how broader urban planning and housing policy goals play
out at the local level. While the book highlights a number of
potential strategies for improving planning and housing delivery
processes, the real challenge is to give voice to a broader array
of interests, reconstituting the political process surrounding
planning and housing development to prioritise homes in
well-planned places for the many, rather than simply facilitating
investment opportunities for the few.
