Inhabitation in Nature
Houses, People and Practices

Inclusive housing in an ageing society
Innovative approaches
This book is the first to bring together people from the worlds of architecture, social science and housing studies to look at the future of living environments for an ageing society.

Housing, urban governance and anti-social behaviour
Perspectives, policy and practice

Housing, social policy and difference
Disability, ethnicity, gender and housing
This book provides an overview of key social issues set in the context of housing.

Housing transitions through the life course
Aspirations, needs and policy
Lifetime attitudes to housing have changed, with new population dynamics driving the market and a greater emphasis on consumption. This important contribution to the literature argues that how we think about households and their housing needs to be recast to acknowledge this changed environment and provide a more powerful conceptual framework.
