We’ve all heard about the housing crisis, but what if the solution isn’t just to "build more houses."

Dr Jane Homewood has worked in urban and regional development, and has been at the forefront of planning our Victorian cities.

Jane deeply believes that the future planning of our cities should revolve around our lives and recreation, not just how we work, or continue to spread further and further onto farming land.

She shares her educated predictions for what our housing will look like in 2040, and if you're looking at buying property right now, what you should be looking for, and the extra research you need to be doing.

This isn't just a conversation about property, it's about the future of how we live, work, and build communities.
