Abstract
Discusses the author's research into social mortgages, a means to have somewhere to live that has a socially-based tenure which binds communities together, meaning property can be not just the financial investment, but also having environmental, social and cultural aspects. Investigates urban papakāinga and co-housing models that incorporate principles of socially-based tenure. Refers to his research which looked at one of each type of development in Auckland, as well as a range of co-housing initiatives in Denmark and Sweden that were first developed up to 50 years ago.
