The shortage of housing in New Zealand cities has focused attention not only on building more houses, but the sort of houses that enhance the wellbeing of those who live in them.
As cities become denser, the challenge is to create buildings that deliver on space efficiency, but are also in line with new ideas about how people live, how they interact with others and their impact on the environment.
