摘要

AbstractA critical residential planning objective through much of world is how to create sustainable urban development. Within this context, the average Australian home has been rapidly increasing in size to be among the largest in the world. An innovative approach was used to form a conceptual framework from a critical review of academic literature. It illustrates that the increase in dwelling size is counterproductive to sustainable urban development challenges of urban consolidation, green urbanism and housing affordability. A review of selected government policy and industry guidelines at spatial scales of neighbourhood, region and nation is used to validate the framework. It reveals that issues associated with dwelling size are not represented in strategic approaches. The outcome of this research is a conceptual framework, which illustrates the relationship between increasing dwelling size and its effect on urban sustainability.世界大多数地区住房规划的一个重要目标是创造可持续的城市发展。在这一背景下，澳大利亚平 均住房面积却迅速上升，成为全世界平均住房面积最大的国家之一。本文通过学术文献回顾，以 全新的方法提出了一个思想框架，说明增加城市居住面积不利于城市的可持续发展，并且不利于 城市团结、绿色城市的建设以及住房可支付性。作者还分析了与居住小区、地区和国家空间规模 相关的政府政策和行业指南，作为上述结论的论证。分析揭示战略方法中并不包含居住面积。本 研究的结论是一个思想框架，该框架说明了住房面积增加及城市可持续发展的关系。Keywords: Dwelling size, McMansion, sustainability, urban consolidation, green urbanism, housing affordability
