We all thought Covid was going to change everything – and in many ways, it did. House Talk investigates how Covid will affect our housing and planning landscapes – and if for better or for worse.

As the government and market commentators scramble to analyse the effects of Covid-19 on the housing market, some early signs are showing that the first consequences are more social than economic.

Our population and governance systems seem readier to be collaborative, to listen, and to recognise we are all interdependent.

In this final episode, we look at whether this positive shift in the way we see each other will follow through to how we discuss, design, and build our future Kiwi communities.
