This Value Talk explores approaches to achieving higher-density living in Queensland. With population projections indicating the need for hundreds of thousands of new homes over the next 30 years, meeting this demand will require denser housing models across a range of scales and typologies. These homes must be thoughtful, adaptable and well connected to daily needs, services, and community. As conversations around housing supply, affordability, and urban change intensify, architects play a critical role not only in responding to these challenges, but in shaping a shared language of quality, liveability, and long-term value. With thoughtful insight from Kali Marnane, Amy Degenhart, and Damian Madigan this talk will examine a range of housing, tenure, and development models, drawing on research and built projects by the speakers. Speakers will share key design strategies and lessons learned, followed by a panel discussion exploring the opportunities and challenges of balancing density and diversity in future housing outcomes.
