“…Respondents also drew attention to the prevalence of short-lived agreements: 'people currently negotiate rents and enter into agreements for shorter periods due to the uncertain times.' In turn, another one of the surveyed staff members of the real estate office noted that 'the tenants expect larger apartments with a little garden or a balcony,' which of course may in the future impact long-term changes in housing market preferences (not only in the rental housing market), accounting for the necessity to revise findings of research conducted hitherto (even the latest one) not only in terms of the real estate market in Krakow (Głuszak & Małkowska, 2017;Głuszak, 2018;Tomal, 2020b) but also in other parts of Poland (Źróbek-Różańska & Szulc, 2018;Tanaś, Trojanek, & Trojanek, 2019;Jancz & Trojanek, 2020) and around the world (Sika & Vidová, 2017;Soon & Tan, 2019;Opit, Witten & Kearns, 2019).…”

“…Newly available affordable attributes of homes may in particular gratify residents' evolving preferences for attainment of comfort, freedom, family, health, money, happiness, and pleasure as they progress through the life course (Biglieri and Hartt 2018;Jansen 2012;Lawton et al 2013;Lindberg et al 1987). Synchronously with this, however, residential preferences may also evolve if residents during the same stage of the life course have either upgraded or moderated their needs and aspirations through time (Darab et al 2018;Opit et al 2020;Rushton 1969). They for example may now demand a dwelling unit with separate bedrooms for children, a home office for adults, and a multiple-car garage (Filion et al 1999).…”

Changes in residential preferences for homes' attributes may predict increasing or decreasing demand for homes and neighbourhoods of residents. Residential preferences are measured experimentally as social utilities of 103 residents in 1985/1987, and 74 residents in 2020 for 12 generic attributes of homes in two mid-sized Canadian cities. Mean utilities for attributes' levels are different for six attributes between two study periods, while preferences for the other six attributes remained the same. One process of change in residential preferences through time is a resident's calculation or interpolation of a utility or price for a newly (un-)available type of home: such as differences between two attributes' levels of basement condition and home renovations, and neighbouring house type and repair. Another process is a resident's reassessment of the utility of an existing type of home: such as differences between four attributes' levels of ages, and ethnic group and education of neighbours, house age and exterior finish, and house type and size. Average differences in preferences occurred because respondents in 1985/1987 discriminated between these six attributes' levels, whereas respondents in 2020 evinced indifference between them. Changes in residents' utilities for attributes' levels through time, especially for their most preferred attributes' levels have theoretical, methodological and practical implications.

“…This bridges the penchant in urban geography for focusing on development with the preference in sociolegal studies for centring on 'inner' private urban governance. For example, Australia's rapid rise in PBSA provision -relative to the established USA and UK markets -coincides with a boom in condo-ism and youthification since 2011 (Bruce and Kelly, 2013;Opit et al, 2019). Hence, the developerinvestor models dominating condo-ism and condo-isation take boutique expression in PBSA as investment.…”

The rise (and rise) of vertical studentification: Exploring the drivers of studentification in Australia

The conditions for studentification are changing with increasing numbers of students living in high-rise – and high-quality – micro-apartment-style accommodation provided through purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) blocks. This ‘verticalisation’ of studentification is a global phenomenon, with Australia representing a frontier with distinctive geographies that result from its rapid ascension to the second-ranked global destination for international students. Yet, despite rising student numbers being recognised as positively impacting national and state economies, little is understood of how student accommodation development fits within the broader scheme of Australian urban revitalisation. To address this, we combine concepts relating to condo-ism and condo-isation to offer an original analytical framework that examines how PBSA has created new conditions through which vertical studentification can be produced in and of cities. We therefore ask how vertical studentification relates to wider Australian housing and urban development trends in ways that differentiate PBSA development and trajectories from other forms of accommodation. We also question how vertical studentification relates to the realities and regulation expressed as intra-urban geographies of Australian university cities and their resident-host communities. We argue that deliberately recognising and dovetailing several self-reinforcing and contradicting urban development dimensions invites a foundation for further interrogating vertical studentification in existing and emerging sites in Australia and beyond.
