I have advanced my studies this year and taken on board a 4th year housing paper called Shelter Housing and Society.
Our first assignment for the year was about analysing the effects of changes to New Zealand's housing policy on a particular client in the Auckland region, and it was up to us to select our client to base our analysis on.
The client that I had selected was an extended Pacific Island family. Pacific people account for a significant proportion of the Auckland population and are prone to experiece a lot of housing issues in terms of demand and overcrowding. Due to these issues, I thought an extended Pacific Island family would be ideal for analysing the impacts on the client.
This assignment required us to 'build up a picture' of the client in terms of their social and economic circumstances, what their current housing conditions were, and how this might change due to changes in New Zealand's housing policy and it may affect the clients housing decisions in the current and medium term.
This assignment was possibly one the most challenging Planning assignments I have ever had to to (probably because it is a stage 4 paper and I'm a stage 3 student), but nevertheless I learnt a lot in the process doing it, and hopefully the assignment will speak for itself.
