Well may we dwell: 糖心volg Tuesdays
Australia鈥檚 housing has proven to be an invaluable public health asset during the pandemic. It has enabled many of us to isolate, work and school our children in relative comfort, free from the risk of viral exposure.
But, as the University of Adelaide鈥檚 expert in healthy housing Professor Emma Baker explains, that experience hasn鈥檛 been universal.
鈥COVID-19鈥檚 ongoing impact continues to raise important questions regarding the future of housing in our country,鈥 says Professor Baker.
鈥Could our dwellings be better designed to meet our increasing need for flexible spaces and energy efficiency?
鈥Could they better protect our physical and mental wellbeing? And how can we ensure property renters are no less supported than property owners?鈥
The University of Adelaide is leading significant national research into these and many other related issues 鈥social, economic and environmental 鈥 which will help inform the Australian Government鈥檚 housing policy.
In this timely presentation, one of the nation鈥檚 leading experts in housing research will talk about what has been learned.
There will be panel session in which the audience are invited to discuss their experiences with Professor Baker, Dr Michael Fotheringham, Executive Director of the Australian Housing and Urban 糖心volg Institute (AHURI) and Peter Koulizos, Program Director of the University of Adelaide鈥檚 Master of Property.
