    Open AccessKaren Witten, Crystal Victoria Olin et al.ARTICLEWellbeing Space and Society2025

    Public and community housing providers face high demand and tight financial constraints. • Investment trade-offs are made continuously between additional dwellings or social infrastructure. • Providers favor amenity-rich locations and shared spaces within developments to foster placemaking. • Integrating Māori landscapes, histories and memories respects and enhances tenants’ sense of place. • Iwi and government partnerships can lift social infras…

  • Transport and Wellbeing of Public Housing Tenants—A Scoping Review

    Open AccessEdward Randal, Amber Logan et al.ARTICLEUrban Science2025References: 15

    The role of public housing in improving wellbeing for tenants and society is an important public policy issue. Public housing tenants in Aotearoa New Zealand have constrained incomes and their mode of transport has implications for their budgets, their wellbeing, and carbon emissions. Tenants’ daily life choices and wellbeing are influenced by the set of transport options available to them and the constraints and opportunities these options entai…

  • Travel Behaviour and Carbon Emissions of Residents of Public Housing Areas in Aotearoa, New Zealand

    Open AccessMichael Keall, Ralph Chapman et al.ARTICLEUrban Science2025

    Public housing tenants in many countries have multiple challenges, often including socioeconomic disadvantage, family health and disability limitations, and compromised potential to earn income. An understanding of this group’s travel behaviours is particularly salient when policies to limit carbon emissions are being considered because such policies can exacerbate transport inequities. The current study makes use of an ongoing national travel su…

  • Placemaking and public housing

    Open AccessElinor Chisholm, Crystal Victoria Olin et al.ARTICLEHousing Studies2024Cited by: 3References: 100

    This article examines the international literature on placemaking – practices or initiatives that encourage a sense of place – in public housing communities. Placemaking is likely to be particularly beneficial to public housing tenants, and is a current priority for public housing providers; yet reviews of placemaking research have failed to consider public housing. Our systematic quantitative review of 63 English-language journal articles reveal…

  • The Impact of Transport on Population Health and Health Equity for Māori in Aotearoa New Zealand

    Open AccessEdward Randal, Caroline Shaw et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2022

    The current transport system in NZ, like many other car-dominated transport systems, has substantial negative impacts on health, at a similar level to the effects of tobacco and obesity. Transport contributes to health inequity, as Māori bear greater shares of the negative health impacts. Creating a healthier transport system would bring substantial benefits for health, society and the economy

  • A Cost Benefit Analysis of an Active Travel Intervention with Health and Carbon Emission Reduction Benefits

    Open AccessRalph Chapman, Michael Keall et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2018

    Active travel (walking and cycling) is beneficial for people’s health and has many co-benefits, such as reducing motor vehicle congestion and pollution in urban areas. There have been few robust evaluations of active travel, and very few studies have valued health and emissions outcomes. The ACTIVE before-and-after quasi-experimental study estimated the net benefits of health and other outcomes from New Zealand’s Model Communities Programme using…

  • Streamlining urban housing development

    Open AccessNick Preval, Edward Randal et al.ARTICLECities2016Cited by: 2References: 10

    New Zealand's largest city, Auckland, is currently facing a housing affordability crisis. Policy makers have attempted to address housing supply issues by creating Special Housing Areas (SHAs), intended to streamline consent processes and fast-track development. SHAs are predicted to accommodate around 40,000 additional dwellings over 10 or more years. This study evaluates the impact of the SHAs on measures of environmental sustainability. Using …
