Welcome to the first series of the HIP V. HYPE podcast, where we discuss new ideas around housing, sustainability and climate action to explore ways to support the sustainable growth of our cities and regions. 

In this episode Laura Phillips, Head of Urban Advocacy at HIP V. HYPE is joined by Liam Wallis, Director of HIP V. HYPE and Mitra Anderson-Oliver who is a Better Cities and Regions Associate with HIP V. HYPE Sustainability to discuss the case for family apartment living in Australia.

Internationally, three and four bedroom apartments provide for a diverse mix of residents, whether they be a family with young, teenage or adult children, shared households or multi-generational living. However, in Australia three-bedroom apartments are predominantly marketed as a ‘luxury' housing option.

There is a growing case for an increasing number of families to live in inner-city locations, which are close to professional jobs, close to existing family structures and close to existing essential amenities such as shops, schools, hospitals, parks, beaches and community facilities. 

But for Australians to meaningfully aspire to apartments as a long-term living option, apartment designs must support attributes that make for meaningfully better apartment living. This episode takes a look at how this can be achieved.

Welcome to the first series of the HIP V. HYPE podcast, where we discuss new ideas around housing, sustainability and climate action to explore ways to support the sustainable growth of our cities and regions. 

In this episode Laura Phillips, Head of Urban Advocacy at HIP V. HYPE is joined by Liam Wallis, Director of HIP V. HYPE and Brighid Sammon who is a Senior Policy Advisor to discuss the case for densifying Australian cities.

Australian cities have some of lowest rates of density in the world. The idea of the Great Australian dream of a suburban block is still leading people to look towards the fringes of our urban centres in search of affordability.

Moderate increases in density across our suburbs can provide for more housing close by to existing community amenity, public transport and green spaces, yet building out the missing middle is marred by contentious planning proposals and local politics.

This episode takes a look at the opportunities and challenges for densifying the missing middle suburbs of Australian cities.

Welcome to the first series of the HIP V. HYPE podcast, where we discuss new ideas around housing, sustainability and climate action to explore ways to support the sustainable growth of our cities and regions.

In this episode Laura Phillips, Head of Urban Advocacy at HIP V. HYPE is joined by Liam Wallis, Director of HIP V. HYPE and Jeanette Large, CEO of Women's Property Initiatives to discuss the scale of the needs based housing crisis, and ways in which it can be addressed.

There are over 80,000 people on the wait list for social housing in Victoria, with the state having the lowest proportion of social housing relative to total housing stock in Australia.

It is estimated that the Victorian government would need to build 6,000 new social housing units a year for a decade to make up for the shortage.

Women are significantly impacted by a severe shortage in needs based housing, with a lack of safe, secure housing entrenching socio-economic instability for women fleeing domestic violence, single mothers and older women in particular.

This episode examines the path forward for policy and investment to increase supply in the needs based housing sector.

The Nightingale Model has received a lot of attention for promising a sustainable, accessible future for housing in Australian cities, however no project is immune from the complexities of financing, urban planning requirements and construction challenges.

This episode takes a look at how Nightingale 2.0, the second project delivered under the Nightingale Housing Model came to be.

In this episode Laura Phillips, Head of Urban Advocacy at HIP V. HYPE is joined by Liam Wallis, Director of HIP V. HYPE and Chris Gilbert, Director of architectural practice, Archier to discuss the lessons learnt on collaborative housing development in Melbourne.

As house prices continue to rise, many Australians are struggling to break into the property market.

Alternative models of housing ownership have emerged in popular discourse over the last few years as a solution to a housing market that is excluding the participation of so many in our community. But are alternative housing models really the answer to housing affordability?

In this episode we take a look at the Collaborative Development Model by HIP V. HYPE and the model's first completed project, The Davison Collaborative.
