A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
Andrew Beer and Clive Forster are to be congratulated for sparking a public debate of the kind that usually evaporates with the clearing away of the coffee mugs in the staff room, or the schooners at a local ‘watering hole’. Perhaps the first thing to note, given the wider readership of Urban Policy and Research, is that there are bound to be some in the urban research community left wondering what all the fuss is about in the ‘ivory tower’. But unlike the nightly current affairs programmes where the combatants are hand-picked because they are known to hold diametrically opposed views, this exchange is between two reasonably likeminded people who happen to reach different conclusions about the desirability of recent developments affecting the underwriting of urban and housing research in Australia.
