Description
Elgar Advanced Introductions are stimulating and thoughtful introductions to major fields in the social sciences, business and law, expertly written by the world's leading scholars. Designed to be accessible yet rigorous, they offer concise and lucid surveys of the substantive and policy issues associated with discrete subject areas.
This timely Advanced Introduction explores the links between housing and households, including the complex process of how people sort themselves into houses and neighborhoods. It covers the choices that households make, why these choices are made, and the constraints faced in achieving housing aspirations, with a particular focus on the contemporary difficulties facing young adults and those unable to buy a house despite a reasonable income.
Key features include:
using the concept of the life course to analyse residential decisions and choices
discussing tenure choice, affordability and social housing, as well as how neighborhoods matter in urban studies
reviewing what is known about how the housing market operates, and how families and individuals engage with the process of becoming homeowners
providing new information on the urban housing environment in a time of rising inequality, low income growth and extensive regulation in the housing market.
Advanced students and professionals of geography, planning, demography and economics will find this an invigorating read on how housing markets operate and the role of individual decisions about homeownership and residential space.
