The key research areas of this group are housing systems and their implications for urban societies and the built environments we inhabit.
We aim to develop a better understanding of the political economies of housing policy and housing production and their various economic, social and environmental outcomes.
Our researchers have a strong multi-disciplinary interest in exploring how housing systems interact with, and impact upon, a wide range of dynamics, including: urban land and labour markets, housing production and sustainable design, housing policy and institutions, housing affordability, housing-related inequality and polarisation, health and wellbeing, and lived experiences of housing.
