Abstract

This chapter introduces and extends the current state of knowledge on approaches to planning for inclusionary housing, outlining a range of mandatory and voluntary mechanisms suited to different development and housing market contexts. These mechanisms range from planning system incentives through to mandatory requirements for dedicated affordable housing within planning laws through to voluntary and negotiated agreements. The chapter updates previous research by the authors and draws on the recent cases contained within the book to provide guidance on matching mechanisms to particular types of markets (high value, renewing, stable and failing) and development contexts (inner ring/transit orientation/redevelopment areas; new release greenfield; regional or rural). It also outlines the range of policy settings, resources and delivery systems needed to support inclusionary housing strategies.
