After disasters, housing recovery uses what’s immediately available, such as transportable cabins, motels, campgrounds and government lots. These stopgaps help in the short-term but also expose the extent of fragility in the housing system. What if instead we saw housing as critical infrastructure post-disaster?

As governments seek to boost density and supply to make housing more affordable, there is an opportunity for planning policy to also foster healthy and connected communities.

Securing Australia’s sovereignty over digital infrastructure is essential to building an online ecosystem grounded in democratic values.
