Funded Activity Summary

A new framework for the re-evaluation of the quality of the built environment in Australia. This project provides a framework and ethical perspective for the re-evaluation of the quality of the built environment in Australia given the nation's changing demographics, its history of migration and assessments of the movements of its people today. It will assess the impact of globalisation, including new modes of transport and communication, building technology, land and urban development in terms of individual and national identity. It seeks to re-evaluate the notion of Australian community in light of hitherto, little-considered transient characteristics. It seeks to question longstanding assumptions about the possibility of, and needs for a 'fixed address' upon which both individual perceptions and government policies are made.
