Course overview

This course explores the nature of where we live, how it has developed over time, how it shapes our lives, and what we can do about it. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, this course provides a comprehensive introduction to the key concepts of urbanisation and housing in Australia and beyond. During the course, students will be asked to consider the major causal factors influencing urban growth and housing, their socio-economic impacts, and policy interventions used by governments. The course will address important concepts including demographic change and migration, social inequality, social harms and (in)justice, and urban citizenship.
