This research explored options for upgrading or retiring privately owned building stock at the development or neighbourhood level within the Tāmaki regeneration area.
The project sought to develop a structured comprehensive approach to decision making for Nga Iwi Kainga (representing community) and the regeneration project, based on three investigations:
1) A household-level investigation – this two part investigation involved a physical assessment of the home from both the perspective of performance and deferred maintenance (technical criteria); and an in-depth interview with at least one household member (social criteria)
2) A community-level investigation – this involved in-depth interviews with Tāmaki based organisations which are involved in either housing development or the provision of social infrastructure relating to housing (institutional criteria)
3) An economic investigation (economic criteria)
