Product Description

The aim of the study was to cast light on how stakeholders working with housing policy in New Zealand utilise research and other forms of outputs from building and housing research.

We can conclude that housing policy to a large extent relies on evidence from academic research and that research, in turn, has prescriptive ambitions. However, we know very little about the connection between stakeholders and academia in this policy domain. This project was a first step in a systematic and empirical study into this field.
