All About BBHTC...

Building Better Homes, Towns and Cities (BBHTC) undertakes world-class research to shape New Zealand’s built environment and strengthen communities. It is one of 11 National Science Challenges, funded by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Enterprise (MBIE). The Challenge develops findings that will empower public, planners and policymakers with reliable information and new tools for fresh thinking and better decisions. It is also discovering new pathways to address the long-standing housing challenges of our most disadvantaged and to support Māori into healthy homes.
