Chris Glaudel is the Deputy Chief Executive of Community Housing Aotearoa, with decades of experience in affordable housing policy and development in both New Zealand and the United States. Before moving to Aotearoa, he worked extensively across California on inclusionary housing and value-capture mechanisms, bringing deep international insight into how planning and housing systems can be designed to deliver lasting affordability and social equity.
In this episode we talk with Chris about how inclusionary housing, sometimes called inclusionary zoning, can help New Zealand address its growing housing inequities. He explains the concept in plain terms, discusses lessons from Queenstown Lakes and international examples, and outlines how national guardrails, local flexibility, and long-term community stewardship could enable a fairer, more resilient housing system for future generations.
We'd like to thank Chris for taking time to speak with us for this Deep Dive Interview.
