In this episode, we sit down with Mark Dawson, Director and National Housing Lead at Urbis, to explore one of the most pressing issues facing Australia today - the housing crisis. Mark shares his unique perspective, grounded in over two decades of public and private sector consulting, on what’s driving the current crisis, from demand and supply imbalances to system inefficiencies and planning bottlenecks. We unpack the common solutions being explored in policy and industry circles, but more importantly, Mark challenges us to think beyond the conventional. What bold, outside-the-box ideas might actually move the needle? How do we shift mindsets to not just build more homes, but build better systems, precincts and communities?!

Mark Dawson brings 20 years of experience in housing and precincts strategy, having worked across both government and the private sector. Mark is recognised for his ability to bring together big-picture thinking with practical, place-based solutions. At Urbis, he leads a multidisciplinary team focused on solving Australia’s housing challenges through evidence-based advisory, long-term planning and innovative thinking that connects people, places and policy.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone working in or affected by Australia’s housing system, from government and policy advisors to developers, investors and planners. Tune in as we explore what it will really take to deliver a more liveable, inclusive future for all Australians.
