Description
Deborah Potts examines the global housing crisis, arguing that demand rather than supply is the primary cause. She contends that low market-set rates of pay and incomes for households worldwide make it impossible to afford decent housing. The author explores the effects of the housing crisis across the global North and South, highlighting its far-reaching consequences, including overcrowding, homelessness, and declining fertility rates. Potts advocates for radical solutions to address this pressing social challenge. As the world becomes increasingly urbanized, Broken Cities provides a timely and urgent account of one of the most significant social issues of the 21st century.
