The politics and practice of Chinese direct foreign investment into Australian housing

There is no greater single shift in Australian housing finance and consumption practices than the one that is being driven by the economic and political rise of China. This research is addressing a key empirical knowledge gap related to Asian property developers and individual investors being major players in the Australian property market since the Global Financial Crisis (GFC). This study has two key empirical tasks: (1) to analyse in quantitative terms the direct foreign investment from China to Australia for commercial and residential property purchases since the GFC; (2) to analyse in qualitative terms the housing policy and cultural politics that has accompanied increasing Asian property developer and investor activity in Australian property markets since the GFC.

This project is funded by a UWS Internal Research Grant
