Overcoming NIMBY Opposition to Developing New Affordable Housing

This is the fourth in a series of white papers by Dr. Tony Gilmour, commissioned by Kintetic Information Systems. This paper provides an introduction as to why people oppose new affordable housing developments, giving insights based on approaches used in Australia and other countries. It aims to be practical, finishing with a checklist of key areas to consider when planning a consultation process. Although NIMBY opposition can appear daunting, it is a common problem around the world and there are various free resources that can make like easier.

The white paper can be downloaded from the Kinetic website.
