New houses are built which extend city boundaries. Natural weathering of materials, an inexorable force, is kept at bay by the maintenance efforts of residents. Neighbourhoods wax and wane in popularity. Bulldozers crush old shells to release land for new developments. Though considerable attention is given to new housing issues, and considerable debate centres around urban redevelopment, not much is on record about the dwelling rehabilitation process, e.g. actions taken by owners or occupiers to "extend the uses and/or useful life of dwellings”. At the beginning of 1980, an interdisciplinary research project was undertaken in Auckland, New Zealand, to study the dwelling rehabilitation process. Interests centred around questions such as what rehabilitation work was being done, what kinds of people were engaged in this process and where as well as why, some suburbs were more active in this process than others. Architectural studies of dwellings, case studies of occupant experiences, survey, and other forms of enquiry provided a comprehensive picture of rehabilitation at the dwelling and neighbourhood scale. The next step towards understanding the dwelling rehabilitation process as a city-wide process was to build and test a model of rehabilitation behaviour. This paper describes the way in which census data was used to predict rehabilitation activity. These predictors were then compared with relevant local authority building permit data. High correlation suggest that the research had come close to understanding the dwelling rehabilitation process. The paper concludes with a discussion about policy implications as well as the potential to use this approach for predicting other urban phenomena.
