The New Australian Dream: Rethinking Our Homes and Cities to Solve the Housing Crisis

Home Ownership is a Human Right…
It’s a travesty that our young can no
longer afford a home of their own

How did Australian home ownership become so unattainable? Can we ‘re-think’ the way housing is built so the Australian Dream can again be possible for future generations?

As economic conditions and demographics change, health, environmental and economic ‘shadows’ are spreading with the growth and cost of suburban ‘paradise’. Through rethinking the housing, urban design, transport and government policy, we can revolutionise the way we build our future towns and cities – and make the dream of home ownership a possibility again.

The New Australian Dream explores the history of Australian home ownership - from its humble beginnings in colonial Australia to its current status. It offers an alternative vision, and a way forward, by re-imagining the Australian Dream, and safeguarding our future and the future of home ownership for generations to come.
