Villages have faith to grow upwards

Churches Housing and BaptistCare are working with Macquarie University in research on the experience of living in multicultural high-rise, mixed-tenure and high-density urban environments.

The Vertical Villages researchers are inviting residents to talk about their experiences – the deadline is Thursday, 10 December 2020.

A key part of the research is the role of faith-based organisations in helping place-making and community development in these neighbourhoods to improve people’s sense of community and connection.

Do you know people who live in an apartment building of 4 storeys or more in the suburbs of Macquarie Park, Epping, Parramatta, Chatswood or Bankstown? If yes, then the researchers want to hear about experiences of high-rise living and learn what more can be done to support a greater sense of community in high-rise apartments.

Chief investigators are: Dr Miriam Williams, Dr Emma Mitchell, Associate Professor Kristian Ruming and Professor Amanda Wise. Research assistants are Kate Cavanaugh and Isaac Harrison

Interviews will run for about one hour over Zoom, Skype, or phone at a convenient time. Participants receive a $50 e-gift card as a thank you for time and contribution.

Register by emailing Dr Emma Mitchell at emma.mitchell@mq.edu.au or phone 9850 2153.

Contact Dr Miriam Williams to find out more about the interview.

You can click here to participate in the online questionnaire and go into a prize draw to win one of 10 $100 gift cards.

This project is co-funded by Macquarie University, Baptist Care and Churches Housing (on behalf of Together for Ryde).

The project’s participant summary, online toolkit and final report are due in March next year.
