Australasian Housing Researchers Conference

15 to 17 February 2017, Melbourne Australia


As Australia continues to develop as one of the world’s most urbanised nations, this much anticipated annual conference provides an key opportunity for housing researchers to share theoretical and empirical research with peers across a wide range of disciplines and to advance and debate ideas to help guide Australia’s future approach to housing.

Hosted by our partners at the RMIT Centre for Urban Research (CUR), together with the University of Melbourne and Swinburne University of Technology, the AHRC 2017 will be held at RMIT University in Melbourne's CBD. 

This year’s theme, Global Inequalities and Housing: The Australasian Agenda, invites both established and early career researchers concerned with housing issues across policy and governance, design and sustainability, finance and economic, and quality of living.
