Context

New Zealand's housing affordability crisis intersects with AI-driven economic disruption. Workers who lose income need stable housing; regions that lose industries may see property value collapses; cities attracting AI workers may see further price pressure.

Key areas to explore

  • Housing stability during transition — Protecting displaced workers from housing loss
  • Regional impacts — How AI-driven industry changes affect regional housing markets
  • Construction and AI — How AI and automation might help address the housing supply crisis
  • Social housing — Capacity and policy for increased demand
  • Remote work and housing — AI-enabled remote work changing where people live

Questions for contributors

  1. How do we prevent AI-driven job losses from becoming a housing crisis?
  2. Can AI in construction meaningfully increase housing supply in NZ?
  3. What housing policies should accompany income support during transitions?
