ABSTRACT The means of achieving urban consolidation is extensively discussed in urban planning literature. However, it is not completely clear how consolidation goals could be facilitated by promoting homes on smaller lots. The paper addresses the dichotomy in Perth’s housing market created by strong policy support for apartments and multi-occupancy dwellings whereas there is an overwhelming demand for larger block single-family residences. We interviewed local government planners and developers to explore their views on appropriate design codes, consumer preferences and the potential for trade-offs. Findings from this study could encourage relevant stakeholders to approach urban consolidation in a more realistic way.

小批量住房是实现紧凑型城市的一种手段：以西澳大利亚州珀斯为例

摘要城市规划文献广泛讨论了实现城市整合的方法。但是，尚不清楚如何通过在较小地段上推广房屋来实现合并目标。本文讨论了珀斯住房市场的二分法，这是由于对公寓和多人居住住房提供了强有力的政策支持，而对较大的单户住宅的需求却非常大。我们采访了当地政府的规划人员和开发商，以探讨他们对适当的设计规范，消费者的偏好以及权衡的可能性的看法。这项研究的结果可以鼓励相关利益相关者以更现实的方式进行城市整合。
