Description

The relationship between housing and individuals is complex. Housing serves both social and economic purposes, often with conflicting priorities. As a home, it provides shelter and stability, while as an asset, it can offer financial benefits such as pension protection or investment opportunities. However, this dual role has contributed to the growing social inequality in housing. The focus on housing as an asset has led to rising house prices, making it difficult for many people to access affordable housing. Governments have responded by implementing policies aimed at maintaining upward pressure on house prices, which can perpetuate inequality. This book examines the impact of these changes on individuals and society, exploring the ways in which housing is refunctioned in modern economies.
