Te Hotonga Hapori – Connecting Communities – is a new research programme led by researchers at the Auckland University of Technology with the support of Kāinga Ora. The team has a wealth of experience and has brought their skills together to work with communities and industry partners to undertake this research.
Over the next five years the team will explore the relationship between a community or neighbourhood and the wellbeing of the people who live there. It will also compare peoples’ wellbeing in urban communities where there is major housing redevelopment to the wellbeing of people living in communities unaffected by redevelopment.
