Synopsis
This dynamic Research Handbook explores key perspectives, topics and methodologies used to understand housing, the home and society. Pairing social theory with a broad range of case studies from the Global North and South, it offers a unique insight into the field.Bringing together an array of esteemed academics, this Research Handbook explores housing in its broadest sense, encapsulating generations of housing knowledge, policy interventions, experiences and representations of home, practices enacted within the home, and the intersection of housing and the home with economy and society. Chapters cover insightful topics from unique angles including crime and the home, ageing in place, econometric methods in housing research, the digitization of housing, and home and gentrification. Ultimately, this Research Handbook uses contemporary analyses to recommend future housing policy, advocating for a fairer market with greater building opportunities, fostering accepting communities and embracing digital technology.An invaluable resource for researchers, academics and students, this Research Handbook will benefit those specialising in sociology and social policy, political science, criminology, and economics. Offering practical policy recommendations, this book will also be of great interest for professionals working in governmental policy, interdisciplinary think tanks, and other national government organisations involved in social housing and urban planning.
