Dr Laura Crommelin of The City Futures Research Centre shares the essential findings from the “Cracks in the Compact City” report, released last week, including:



• why it’s not just off-the-plan apartment purchasers who have no idea what they’re getting in to when they buy into strata

• the heavy responsibility of strata records inspectors and strata managers

• why quality apartments are a matter of housing equity, to which our government must respond



and more.
