Over the last two decades new and significant demographic,
economic, social and environmental changes and challenges have
shaped the production and consumption of housing in Australia and
the policy settings that attempt to guide these processes. These
changes and challenges, as outlined in this book, are many and
varied. While these issues are new they raise timeless questions
around affordability, access, density, quantity, type and location
of housing needed in Australian towns and cities. The studies
presented in this text also provide a unique insight into a range
of housing production, consumption and policy issues that, while
based in Australia, have implications that go beyond this national
context. For instance how do suburban-based societies adjust to the
realities of aging populations, anthropogenic climate change and
the significant implications such change has for housing? How has
policy been translated and assembled in specific national contexts?
Similarly, what are the significantly different policy settings the
production and consumption of housing in a post-Global Financial
Crisis period require? Framed in this way this book accounts for
and responds to some of the key housing issues of the 21st century.
Individual foreign investment in residential real estate by new
middle-class and super-rich investors is re-emerging as a key issue
in academic, policy and public debates around the world. At its
most abstract, global real estate is increasingly thought of as a
liquid asset class that is targeted by foreign individual investors
who are seeking to diversify their investment portfolios. But
foreign investors are also motivated by intergenerational familial
security, transnational migration strategies and short-term
educational plans, which are all closely entwined with global real
estate investment. Government and local public responses to the
latest manifestation of global real estate investment have taken
different forms. These range from pro-foreign investment, primarily
justified on geopolitical and macro-economic grounds, to
anti-foreign investment for reasons such as mitigating public
dissent and protecting the local housing market. Within this
changing geopolitical context, this book offers a diverse range of
case studies from Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore, Russia, Australia
and Korea. It will be of interest to academics, policymakers and
university students who are interested in the globalisation of
local real estate. The chapters in this book were originally
published in the International Journal of Housing Policy.

Understanding Urbanism presents built environment students with the
latest approaches to studying urbanism. The book is written in an
accessible and easy-to-understand format by leading urban academics
and practitioners with decades of teaching and practical
experience. As students move through the chapters, they will
develop a critical understanding of the different ways architects,
urban and social planners, urban designers, heritage professionals,
engineers and other built environment professionals design our
cities. Importantly, the book shows how and why the built
environment professional of the future will need to work within the
Indigenous context of cities in countries like Australia, New
Zealand, the United States and Canada.

Individual foreign investment in Western nation states is a
long-standing geopolitical issue. The expansion of the middle class
in BRICS and Asian countries, and their increased activity in
Western real estate markets as foreign investors, have introduced
new and revived existing cultural and geopolitical sensitivities.
In this book, Dallas Rogers develops a new history of foreign real
estate investment by mapping the movement of human and financial
capital over more than four centuries. The book argues the
reconfiguration of Asian geopolitical power has ruptured the
conceptual landscape for understanding international land and real
estate relations. Drawing on assemblage theories (Latour, Deleuze
and Guattari), assemblage analytical tactics (Sassen and Ong) and
discursive media theories (Kittler and Foucault) a series of
vignettes of land and real estate crisis are presented. The book
demonstrates how foreign land claimers and global real estate
professionals colonise, subvert and act beyond the governance
structures of settler-societies to facilitate new types of capital
circulation and accumulation around the world.
