The 8th Annual Halloran Lecture: How to Fix Housing Affordability in Our Cities – is Supply the Big Answer?
Despite record housing completions in Sydney and Melbourne in recent years (pre-COVID) the argument persists amongst some Government agencies and the property sector, that the only way to improve housing affordability is additional housing supply. We have invited a leading UK housing economist, Ian Mulheirn, who has written extensively on this topic, to share his views with us.
