Full description

Dr Kristian Ruming is an urban and economic geographer. His research interests centre on issues on housing and urban planning. The majority of his research has explored social housing provision in New South Wales, in particular residents' experience of their neighbourhood and the evaluation of policies tied to urban renewal and community regeneration. Kristian has also been involved in a number of projects conducted by the Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute (AHURI). These projects explored housing affordability stress experienced by low income renters and the impacts of state and local government levies, charges and taxes on the purchase price of dwellings in New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland.

Before moving to Macquarie University Kristian worked as a Research Fellow at the City Futures Research Centre, UNSW, and the Centre for Urban and Regional Studies, The University of Newcastle.
