Abstract

While escalating investor and owner demand for properties within the central precincts of Asia-Pacific cities has created an exuberance around the benefits of apartment living and investment, less well understood are the substantial constraints on individual rights, restrictions and responsibilities (3Rs) associated with collective living. From a range of geographic and disciplinary perspectives, this collection questions the assumptions that support today’s compact city hype. It canvases structural issues, including established and emerging legislative and policy settings. It also illuminates the experience of strata managers, owners, residents and their agency within these processes.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Strata-scheme termination occurs when the owners of a complex determine to extinguish the scheme , usually as a precursor to the building (and all apartments within it) being demolished. Until recently, these en bloc sales could only occur when 100 per cent of owners were in agreement with this course of action, however in an increasing number of jurisdictions this is no longer the case.
