Morning in Conversation with SEQCA: Why is the Missing Middle so hard to find?
Most of us agree we need more housing diversity and more affordable housing, but the evidence is that multistorey high density residential tower blocks are less affordable and less liveable than various types of smaller homes in convenient places spread across the city. So why isn’t this type of development happening and how could we find that mythical Missing Middle? Is it really all down to the NIMBY effect (real or imagined) or are there other factors at play and can we change the trajectory?
