Overview
Among public policy domains, housing occupies a crucial nexus between people's welfare, place making and economic policy, but its significance to social and economic wellbeing is often underplayed.
This course charts the development of UK housing systems in their international context through the interplay of policy and markets, and explores contemporary debates around social needs, homelessness, public spending, consumption inequalities, and governance.
