Defining the density debate: Social representations of urban consolidation in Brisbane

(2017) Defining the density debate: Social representations of urban consolidation in Brisbane. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

This thesis is concerned with understanding the social representations that impact on how stakeholders understand, value and act in relation to urban consolidation, a planning policy designed to increase the density of housing in existing urban areas. The study revealed that urban consolidation is a complex topic that involves associated issues of land use conflict, regional population management, investment and property, home and housing affordability, neighbourhood change and urban renewal. Urban consolidation is a political topic subject to vested interests and often doesn't achieve the positive outcomes for which it is promoted in policy documents.
