As housing becomes less affordable and the search for adequate accommodation more desperate, Erin O’Dwyer investigates how we can escape from the urban sprawl.

Erin looks at how the best intentions can go awry, as we try to build better homes.

She makes the case that designing our homes doesn’t have to be a luxury and that as we build more and more of them to address the housing shortage, happiness for the people living in them shouldn’t be an afterthought.

Listen to Erin read her piece, ‘Tree Change’, from The Saturday Paper.
