Infrastructures of Care: Opening up “Home” as Commons in a Hot City
What does it mean to be at home in a hot city? One response is to shut our doors and close ourselves in a cocoon of air-conditioned thermal comfort. As the climate warms, indoor environments facilitated by technical infrastructures of cooling are fast becoming the condition around which urban life is shaped. The price we pay for this response is high: our bodies have become sedentary, patterns of consumption individualized, and spaces of comforta…
Unsettling Impact: Responding to Cultural Complexity
Australian academic research is currently in the midst of a flurry of reporting activity regarding ‘impact’, building on the articulation of impact as a university research metric in the UK. Loomin
Housing and Home Unbound: Intersections in Economics, Environment and Politics in Australia
Community Land Trusts and Indigenous Housing in Australia—Exploring Difference-Based Policy and Appropriate Housing
Previous work has highlighted the primacy of non-economic rights in Indigenous housing objectives. This paper builds on that work and Sanders' other work demonstrating the limited relevance of ‘mainstream’ home ownership for many Indigenous communities, exploring whether models based on community land trust (CLT) principles might be appropriate for articulating Indigenous housing aspirations. The paper describes current Indigenous housing scenari…
Politically Engaged Geographical Research with the Community Sector: Is It Encouraged byAustralia's Higher Education and Research Institutions
With the application of neoliberal thinking to the higher education sector, measures of research quality and utility have proliferated in efforts to increase academic accountability, innovation, and contributions to public policy. We intend to reignite discussion about community activism and the role of the academic in response to trends in higher education policy and recent debate inAustralia about research quality assessment and policy relevanc…
Decolonising Property: Exploring Ethics, Land, and Time, through Housing Interventions in Contemporary Australia
The idea of property is a fundamental and foundational component of modern industrialised economies and yet, as a growing body of work shows, property is far from settled as a concept, or as a set series of relationships-whether between institutions, humans, places, and/or other species. Property systems are part of emergent, complex socioecological systems, reflecting and manifesting social and political phenomena, and asserting particular forms…
Sustainability Uptake in Housing in Metropolitan Australia: An Institutional Problem, Not a Technological One
This paper examines the uptake of environmentally sustainable housing in two major cities in Australia. The paper responds to literature that suggests sustainability is not so much a technological problem as an institutional one, and to theories of innovation which focus on innovation diffusion through chains of production. The disaggregation and piecemeal nature of innovation within the building industry is underpinned by unfamiliarity with new …
Disintegrated Houses: Exploring Ecofeminist Housing and Urban Design Options
Sherilyn MacGregor astutely highlights possible points of tension between the socioeconomic agendas, processes and outcomes of ecocity and feminist urban visions. MacGregor also claims ecofeminism may benefit from utilising the language of citizenship to move beyond essentialised gender and spatial associations of care to address such possible tensions between ecological and feminist agendas. Responding to MacGregor's reflections on options for t…
Sustainability begins at home? An ecological exploration of sub/urban Australian community-focused housing initiatives
Sustainable Housing Development in Urban Australia: Exploring obstacles to and opportunities for ecocity efforts
Basic aspects of sustainable housing design such as increasing density, mixed use and proximity to public transport are being adopted increasingly in Australian cities. Sustainable building codes such as NSW's BASIX and Victoria's Green Star rating systems are also being implemented and advanced. More substantial improvements and endeavours such as onsite food production, energy generation and waste treatment, are being seen increasingly as neces…
