APCCRPR researchers Prof. Spike Boydell, Dr Glen Searle and Kate Fairlie are currently progressing fieldwork on the contemporary commons of Sydney's Darling Harbour precinct. Their investigation findings for the property rights, obligations, restrictions and responsibilities that multiple stakeholders have over mixed-use space in today's metropolis will be published shortly in a Findings in Built and Rural Environments report. The APCCRPR investigation is funded by the RICS Education Trust. "Long-term city sustainability is grounded on an appreciation of the contemporary urban commons. "The city comprises a milieu of competing and complementary real property rights, ranging from the individual to the communal," says Boydell.
