The New Zealand dream (or the Kiwi dream) centres on the acquisition of a family house on a quarter-acre section, with at least one motor vehicle. The New Zealand dream resembles the Australian Dream. For many New Zealanders this dream could also include a pleasure boat, a bach and a holiday at the beach.

  • The New Zealand dream (or the Kiwi dream) centres on the acquisition of a family house on a quarter-acre section, with at least one motor vehicle. The New Zealand dream resembles the Australian Dream. For many New Zealanders this dream could also include a pleasure boat, a bach and a holiday at the beach. The New Zealand dream of acquiring a family home was supported by government policies from the late-nineteenth century through much of the twentieth century, although housing affordability has become a political issue, with limited measures to alleviate rising house prices. An alternative to this New Zealand dream is "smart growth". The smart-growth concept has no quarter-acre section, no family house and no car. People live in small apartments and use public transport. Smart growth commonly occurs in countries with little free land (such as Hong Kong). (en)
