Touchstone: Democratising Residential Development

February 19, 2018 @ 6:00 pm - 8:30 pm

Design Futures Council | Design Intelligence

For two decades the Design Futures Council has hosted programs offered around the world. The focus of these conferences has been on the business of design and on the trends, changes, and innovations transforming the AEC Industry.

Touchstone: Democratising Residential Development is a response to the fact that the Australian housing supply and affordability crisis is light as day, but the solution isn’t. Innovative thinkers are developing new sustainable development models to tackle these issues.

There is a global housing supply and affordability crisis. Each year, Australia needs to built a city the size of Canberra to keep up with demand. We must consider alternative development models to maintain our social license.

Globally the lack of affordable housing is estimated at 330 million urban households and forecast to grow by a further 30 percent by 2025. Locally, the Australian housing supply and affordability crisis is light as day, but the solution isn’t. Innovative thinkers are developing new sustainable development models to tackle these issues.

This touchstone function will explore how we can balance the needs of society and the commercial realities of the corporate world.
