Synopsis The purpose of this subject is to provide a focus on the inputs and outcomes of the housing system in Australia by comparing them with a range of international situations. Case studies will be drawn from free market environments such as the US as well as more regulated markets such as those of western Europe. The case studies will be used to build up a picture of varying housing systems, conditions and problems. The objective is to impart a broader understanding of policy options, as well as to be able to evaluate the relative significance and impact of housing problems in different contexts.
