This timely book problematises growing structural housing unaffordability and the lack of affordable housing across the advanced economic world. It offers both a historically and geographically sensitive critique of why we face these issues and struggle to adequately respond, and informed speculation towards addressing this crisis collectively, equitably, and longitudinally.
Utilising a 'Critical-Relational Political Economy' approach, the unaffordability dilemma is linked to converging patterns of cumulative neoliberalising and globalising developments during intense capitalist expansion from the 1970s onwards. Housing unaffordability is not explained by regulatory and planning failures but by a growth model transformation under de-industrialisation, away from labour-inclusive capitalism to city-centric, private landed property-directed political economies. Whereas residential accumulation is characterised by inflationary tendencies, households' capacity to pay for housing largely follows deflationary dynamics. The consequence is politically stimulated, institutionally mediated, and structurally variegated housing-labour decoupling on now epic proportions.
This book will be essential reading for informed audiences interested in housing, spatial planning, economic development, and political economies, as well as questions of social, spatial, and inter-generational justice. Besides researchers, policymakers, and advocates, it will be postgraduate and undergraduate students who will benefit most from compelling crisis (re)framing and original rethinking of affordable futures for people and places.
