Planning

Opinion

Planning and transport strategies are deficient

"Since self-government, the share of social housing has declined from 12 per cent to 6 per cent of the total housing stock… No wonder the government has struggled to justify the priority given to light rail," writes MIKE QUIRK. 

Opinion

Housing’s missing middle needs government help

"There's a clear need for more diverse, human-scale and climate-sensitive new low-to-medium density housing. This won't happen, and certainly will not provide affordable housing, without government intervention," says RICHARD JOHNSTON.

Opinion

Government spinners must think we’re all stupid

"The message is that in the decades Before Barr the city planning chiefs were not capable of delivering a city with affordable housing, social housing and one that was diverse and interesting and functioned efficiently," says PAUL COSTIGAN.
