Innovation for a more efficient, resilient and responsive housing construction industry: A technical paper in support of Ahuri Final Report No. 461
The CBD will survive: Forecasting the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on long-term firm location preferences
Agglomeration is typically used to explain the benefits of central business districts (CBDs) in large urban areas, but the pandemic has called into question the primacy of CBDs. Previous studies have relied on observational data that uses past behaviour as a predictor of future behaviour. Instead, we conducted a stated preference experiment with 789 businesses to generate robust predictions about the likely future behaviour of firms. Controlling …
The agency of change: Conceptualizing pathways towards an affordable housing future
Housing careers, housing pathways and young people in developed economies
The housing careers of young people provide significant insight into the housing system they enter – its opportunities and limitations. There is a strong history of work in housing studies to understand the progress of individuals through the housing market. This paper assesses the value of housing careers and housing pathways as analytical devices at a time when uncertainty marks young people’s movement through the housing markets of developed e…
Predicting the long-term impacts of Covid-19 on household location preferences: The rise of red giant and white dwarf cities
We used stated preference experiments with 2970 Australian households to predict the long-term impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on household location preferences. Within metropolitan areas, we find an increase in the popularity of low-density middle- and outer-city neighbourhoods. Between regional cities, we find that population, proximity to the coast and proximity to a major capital city increase attractiveness. Together, these preferences are …
Are women really (not) more talkative than men? A registered report of binary gender similarities/differences in daily word use
Women are widely assumed to be more talkative than men. Challenging this assumption, Mehl et al. (2007) provided empirical evidence that men and women do not differ significantly in their daily word use, speaking about 16,000 words per day (WPD) each. However, concerns were raised that their sample was too small to yield generalizable estimates and too age and context homogeneous to permit inferences beyond college students. This registered repor…
Covid-19, Shifting Urban Growth Dynamics and Preferences for Regional Living in Australia
Stated preference surveys and qualitative engagement were used to examine the potential for change in Australian urban growth dynamics. We found that residents with strong preferences for large and mid-sized cities appear unlikely to change their preferences. However, 21 percent of individuals currently living in large cities were open to moving to mid-sized cities. 54 percent of respondents placed a high importance on quality of life, local heal…
Just transitions in the Australian automotive sector
The closure of the Australian passenger vehicle industry in 2017 ended an important phase in the nation’s economic history. Closure affected up to 100, 000 employees working across the Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and the supply chain, with the impacts concentrated in two Australian states. This paper examines both the processes and the outcomes of this closure, making use of a Just Transitions lens to assess the wider impacts of this …
Gender, place leadership and levelling up across regions
This paper seeks to understand how ‘sticky’ the gendered, socialised understanding of leadership remains and what impact it has on efforts to level up outcomes between dominant and peripheral regions. We found that women and men leaders agreed on the characteristics that make a good place-based leader, however, women used four channels to dismantle the gendered stereotypes of leadership, demonstrating that gendered perceptions of place-based lead…
Place-based just transition: Domains, components and costs
The transition from fossil fuels involves the closing down of fossil-fuel based plants and activities, such as coal mines and coal fired power stations. This article outlines the components of a place-based Just Transition in which the management of closures extends spatially, beyond the usual focus on affected workers, to deliver interventions across affected communities with a view to minimising adverse impacts, creating new local opportunities…
Housing preferences for owner-occupied versus investment properties in Sydney, Australia
Advancing a healthy housing policy agenda: How Do Policy Makers Problematise Housing-Related Health Issues
A substantial international body of evidence links housing to health outcomes. In 2021, the World Health Organisation (WHO) evaluated a small selection of policies from its six geographic regions and found that, in Australia as in the rest of the world, existing healthy housing measures fall short of the systemic response required to address health impacts and inequities. This paper takes the novel step of applying Bacchi's (2009) 'What is the Pr…
Leading Change in Communities Experiencing Economic Transition: Place Leadership, Expectations, and Industry Closure
This paper considers the nature, origins and expression of place leadership in communities undergoing large-scale economic transformation. It examines where people look for leadership in the management of the places where they live, and how their perspectives are affected by an adverse event. It documents community attitudes on the influence those who occupy positions of authority have been able to exert on this transition, drawing on perceptions…
Agency and the structural determinants of regional growth: Towards a retheorisation
This paper addresses debates on the role of agency in shaping the economic future of regions.Scholarship on agency departs from the earlier focus of evolutionary economic geography, which highlighted the role of pre-existing structural conditions.This paper challenges the notion that agency is only found in intentional action and is limited to key actors within a region.It questions exclusive focus on the impact of entrepreneurial leaders, place …
Left-behind neighbourhoods in old industrial regions
This article focuses on the neighbourhoods and people that have been left behind in the economic transformation of two now-diversified old industrial regions: Geelong (Victoria) in Australia and Oshawa (Ontario) in Canada. Political discontent has found expression in different ways in the two locations. This, we contend, reflects policy frameworks that dampen the extent to which socio-spatial inequality and entrenched disadvantage generate discon…
Australian rental housing standards: Institutional Shifts to Reprioritize the Housing–health Nexus
A large proportion of Australia’s housing stock offered for private rental or socially let is of poor quality, which has implications for residents’ health and well-being. This problem has arisen from historically weak regulation of housing standards and under-investment in public housing services, both features of Australia’s neoliberal housing regime. In this paper, we reviewed the institutional contexts of two policy settings used to address p…

Clive Forster was born in Warrington in the United Kingdom on 11 April 1943. He died in Adelaide on 2 July 2022. His father was a dental technician who later ran a pub in Shropshire. Clive was educated at Boteler Grammar School in Warrington, founded in 1526, and then commenced a BSc Honours degree at the University of Hull in 1960, majoring in Geography. In 1964, he began research for a PhD and, in 1966, he married Anna, who was also an Honours …
Housing and health: An updated glossary
Recent crises have underscored the importance that housing has in sustaining good health and, equally, its potential to harm health. Considering this and building on Howden-Chapman’s early glossary of housing and health and the WHO Housing and Health Guidelines, this paper introduces a range of housing and health-related terms, reflecting almost 20 years of development in the field. It defines key concepts currently used in research, policy and p…
State structures and the limits of agency: Governing the transformation from coal in Australia
To what extent do subnational differences in the configurations of formal and informal institutions shape the relative capacities of state and regional agents? This article considers the distribution of capacities and powers among regional actors, as defined by their organizational roles and the power of the state. After comparing the management of economic change in two peripherally located and coal-dependent areas in different States in Austral…
Plant closures in Australia’s automotive industry: Continuity and Change
This paper explores the possibility of using diachronic case study comparisons to shed light on continuity and change in policy interventions to manage plant closures. It compares the early results of a survey of workers retrenched in the 2017 closure of Australia’s passenger vehicle manufacturing industry with the results of a similar survey of workers who lost their jobs in the 2005 closure of Mitsubishi’s Adelaide engine-casting and components…
Career degradation in Australian cities: Globalization, Precarity and Adversity
This paper explores the impact on urban labour markets of the closure of the Australian automotive manufacturing industry through a qualitative analysis of ex-automotive workers’ experiences of redundancy and precarious work. We locate the experiences of workers inside a multidimensional concept of precarity that can be both objectively measured and subjectively produced. These findings show the need for strong policies directed at boosting the e…
Combining interventions to reduce the spread of viral misinformation
Misinformation online poses a range of threats, from subverting democratic processes to undermining public health measures. Proposed solutions range from encouraging more selective sharing by individuals to removing false content and accounts that create or promote it. Here we provide a framework to evaluate interventions aimed at reducing viral misinformation online both in isolation and when used in combination. We begin by deriving a generativ…
Cold housing: Evidence, risk and vulnerability
Cold housing is not widely recognized as a problem that occurs in mild-climate countries like Australia. But emerging evidence suggests that it is an important, albeit under-acknowledged, problem that may contribute to high rates of ill health and mortality during the winter months. We bring together two historically important theoretical developments to better understand the social and economic distribution of cold housing. Drawing on nationally…
Place-based industrial strategy and economic trajectory: Advancing agency-based approaches
Agency-based approaches represent a fundamental advance in how researchers and policymakers can address questions of place-based industrial strategy, including issues of governance, leadership, new technology and regional assets. However, these approaches can be advanced further by recognizing the centrality of discourse in regional change. This paper does this by synthesizing two conceptual frameworks: Grillitsch and Sotarauta’s trinity of chang…
Regional innovation and the retention of foreign direct investment: A place-based approach
The relationship between regional innovation and foreign direct investment (FDI) has been extensively examined, but the impact of regional innovation on FDI retention has received scant attention. Drawing on the logic of place-based approaches, the paper investigates this impact by conducting survival analyses on data collected across 31 provinces of China. We find that regional technician supply (RTS) and regional intellectual property flexibili…
Mobilizing leadership in cities and regions
Increasing attention has been given to the role of leadership as an important determinant of growth at the regional or local scale (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), [2010]. Regions matter. Paris: OECD, [2012]. Growth in all regions. Paris: OECD). Scholarship on the leadership of places, however, remains an under-developed field, with much research either overly reliant upon perspectives drawn from management discipli…
Housing Affordability and Planning in Australia: The Challenge of Policy Under Neo-liberalism
Housing affordability has once again appeared on the policy agenda of Australian governments. House prices have risen in response to booming demand and constraints on the supply of dwellings, especially a shortage of land in the capital cities and skill shortages within the housing industry. Many young and low-income households have experienced great difficulty in gaining access to homeownership and in being able to afford private rental housing.…
Place leadership and regional economic development: A framework for cross-regional analysis
This paper examines the leadership of places – cities, regions, communities – in Australia, Finland, Germany, Italy, the United States and the United Kingdom and explores the capacity of vignettes to generate new, theoretical and empirical insights. It uses vignettes to identify the features of place leadership evident in 12 case studies across six nations. The research finds significant commonalities in place leadership with respect to the impor…
Governance, agency and place leadership: Lessons from a cross-national analysis
Governance, agency and place leadership: lessons from a cross-national analysis. Regional Studies. This paper argues that few accounts of place leadership have found an appropriate balance between structural and individual processes, resulting, on the one hand, in an over-emphasis on the actions of a limited number of charismatic leaders and, on the other hand, in structural analyses blind to the decisions and actions of individuals and groups. T…
Making sense of leadership in urban and regional development
Making sense of leadership in urban and regional development. Regional Studies. This editorial paves the way for the articles addressing several contemporary sub-national leadership experiences in England, Australia, Finland, China, the Netherlands, Norway, Estonia, Denmark and Sweden. It introduces place leadership as a mode of reflexive agency in urban and regional development, and discusses the value as well as the difficulties and limitations…
Housing affordability, tenure and mental health in Australia and the United Kingdom: A comparative panel analysis
This paper contributes insights into the role of tenure in modifying the relationship between housing affordability and health, using a cross-national comparison of similar post-industrial nations—Australia and the United Kingdom—with different tenure structures. The paper utilises longitudinal data from the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia Survey and British Household Panel Survey to examine change in the mental health of indiv…
Neoliberalism, economic restructuring and policy change: Precarious housing and precarious employment in Australia
Housing, employment and economic conditions in many nations have changed greatly over the past decades. This paper explores the ways in which changing housing markets, economic conditions and government policies have affected vulnerable individuals and households, using Australia as a case study. The paper finds a substantial number and proportion of low income Australians have been affected by housing and employment that is insecure with profoun…
Neoliberalism and the Institutions for Regional Development in Australia
This paper examines some effects of the pursuit of neoliberalism on regional development policy and practice in Australia, and in particular on the activities and effectiveness of regional development organisations. The paper interprets data from a survey of 505 regional development organisations across Australia through the framework of Jessop's contribution to state theory and his identification of four key trends in economic management under n…

The Economic Geography of Australia and Its Analysis: From Industrial to Post-Industrial Regions
The Australian economy has experienced profound change over the last five decades, moving from an industrial to a post-industrial structure. This transformation has had far-reaching implications for the nature of economic activity in Australia and has provided the backdrop for the evolving analysis of the nation's space economy. The paper argues that three interrelated themes underpin much of the work of economic geographers in Australia: the imp…
The closure of the Australian car manufacturing industry: Redundancy, policy and community impacts
The Australian car manufacturing industry closed in the third quarter of 2017, bringing to an end 70 years of vehicle assembly as General Motors Holden, Ford and Toyota ceased large-scale production. This resulted in highly visible redundancies amongst the vehicle producers, and a more profound, but less noticeable, loss of employment within the supply chain. The likely impact on the affected communities will be profound, with northern Adelaide, …

The urban and regional impacts of plant closures: New Methods and Perspectives
Work on large-scale plant closures has provided a rich vein of scholarship and academic debate. This paper articulates a new set of methods and concepts for understanding how large-scale redundancies associated with the closure of manufacturing plants affects society and the economy at the local, regional and national scales. It posits the need for a more comprehensive exercise in data collection and experimentation with previously unused methods…

Neither here nor there or always here and there? Antipodean reflections on economic geography
This paper emerged from discussions held over a two-day symposium hosted by the University of Western Sydney and the Institute of Australian Geographers in December 2011. Drawing on contemporary themes in economic geography around postcolonial theory and a concern with the histories of the sub-discipline, the symposium sought to triangulate these discourses using Raewyn Connell’s (2006, 2007a, 2007b) concept of ‘Southern Theory’ as a means of beg…

An Australian geography of unhealthy housing
Housing problems, such as affordability, poor quality of condition, or damp, are key determinants of health and wellbeing. Importantly, though, a growing body of research has shown that unhealthy housing is the combined result of multiple housing problems acting together. Although the spatial distribution of discrete housing problems is well established, little is known of Australia's geography of unhealthy housing. We have previously defined and…
Precariously placed: Housing affordability, quality and satisfaction of Australians with disabilities
Access to adequate, safe, secure, accessible and affordable housing is a fundamental human right and one stipulated in the United Nations Conventions on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Australian adults with disabilities experience housing disadvantage including homelessness, poor-quality housing and housing unaffordability; however, we lack a comprehensive comparison of the housing circumstances of people with and without disabilities a…
Institutional thickness and institutional effectiveness: Developing regional indices for policy and practice in Australia
There has been considerable discussion of the role of institutions in development, including regional development, since the early 1990s with the work of North in 1990 followed by major interventions from Amin and Thrift in 1995 and other researchers. In large measure this set of literature has focused on evaluating and describing the ‘institutional thickness’ of places, the relative richness or poverty of institutional structures that support ec…
Housing Policy, Housing Assistance and the Wellbeing Dividend: Developing an Evidence Base for Post-GFC Economies
This paper discusses the recent evolution, at a time of turmoil within global financial markets, of Australia's housing system and considers the effectiveness of housing assistance responses formulated to assist lo- income Australians. Following the Global Financial Crisis (GFC), housing was recast in the public and political consciousness and received substantial policy attention. In this era of rapidly declining housing affordability as well as…
Housing Investment and the Private Rental Sector in Australia
Over the past two decades, the private rental sector has changed its role within the Australian housing system as it has moved from being a tenure of transition, comprised principally of young households saving to enter home-ownership, to a tenure of long-term occupancy. Rising real house prices, soaring interest rates, changes in the nature of paid work and an increase in the number of household deaths through divorce or separation, has seen an …

Developing Locally: An International Comparision of Local and Regional Economic Development
National Character Does Not Reflect Mean Personality Trait Levels in 49 Cultures
Most people hold beliefs about personality characteristics typical of members of their own and others' cultures. These perceptions of national character may be generalizations from personal experience, stereotypes with a “kernel of truth,” or inaccurate stereotypes. We obtained national character ratings of 3989 people from 49 cultures and compared them with the average personality scores of culture members assessed by observer ratings and self-r…

The Politics and Policy of Economic Restructuring in Australia: Understanding Government Responses to the Closure of an Automotive Plant
In April 2004, Mitsubishi Motors Australia Ltd (MMAL) announced the closure of its foundry and engine-making plant at Lonsdale in southern Adelaide. The closure resulted in 700 involuntary redundancies with a further 400 positions lost at MMAL's Tonsley Park plant through voluntary redundancies. The loss of jobs and associated economic activity were a major shock to southern Adelaide, a relatively poor region with few large manufacturing establis…

Asymmetry in Judgments of Personality: Others Are Less Differentiated Than the Self
Previous evidence suggests that judges rely more heavily on implicit personality theories when they rate relatively unfamiliar others. One further implication of this evidence is that correlations among traits should be stronger in other ratings than in self‐ratings, particularly when (a) judges lack trait relevant information and/or (b) motivational accuracy is low. We tested these predictions by comparing self‐ versus other ratings on the Big F…
A tale of two cities: Auto plant closures and policy responses in Birmingham and Adelaide
Risk and return: Housing tenure and labour market adjustment after employment loss in the automotive sector in Southern Adelaide
This paper examines the interaction between housing tenure and the propensity of displaced workers from the automotive sector to be employed one year to 18 months post-redundancy. It considers the ‘Oswald thesis’ that home ownership contributes to higher rates of unemployment in advanced economies and reviews this proposition using survey data from 314 households. The paper focuses on the experience of workers retrenched from the Lonsdale and Ton…
A tale of two regions: Comparative versus competitive approaches to economic restructuring
In April 2004 Mitsubishi announced the closure of its Lonsdale plant in South Australia. Almost a year later, MG Rover went into administration, resulting in the immediate closure of its Longbridge plant just outside Birmingham, England. Both closures were expected to have a considerable impact on their regional economies through the loss of employment and associated economic activity. However, governments in Australia and England responded in si…
Specialisation and Growth: Evidence from Australia's Regional Cities
This paper draws upon the 2001 census to examine the impact of national economic reform on the growth of regional cities. The paper argues that regional cities in Australia have taken on new roles within both their region and the national economy. It argues that deregulation of the economy has contributed to the growth of some regional cities and especially those that have been able to deepen their economies. Through the use of regression analysi…
Leadership of place in the rural periphery: Lessons from Australia's agricultural margins
Numerous researchers have argued that local leadership has been fundamental to the growth or revitalisation of metropolitan and regional communities across the globe. Leadership is also seen to play an important role in encouraging innovation and the growth of new industries. This article considers the role of place leadership in two peripheral Australian regions: the Wheatbelt of Western Australia and the Eyre Peninsula, South Australia. Both ar…
