This dynamic Research Handbook explores key perspectives, topics and methodologies used to understand housing, the home and society. Pairing social theory with a broad range of case studies from the Global North and South, it offers a unique insight into the field.
Bringing together an array of esteemed academics, this Research Handbook explores housing in its broadest sense, encapsulating generations of housing knowledge, policy interventions, experiences and representations of home, practices enacted within the home, and the intersection of housing and the home with economy and society. Chapters cover insightful topics from unique angles including crime and the home, ageing in place, econometric methods in housing research, the digitisation of housing, and home and gentrification. Ultimately, this Research Handbook uses contemporary analyses to recommend future housing policy, advocating for a fairer market with greater building opportunities, fostering accepting communities and embracing digital technology.
An invaluable resource for researchers, academics and students, this Research Handbook will benefit those specialising in sociology and social policy, political science, criminology and economics. Offering practical policy recommendations, this book will also be of great interest for professionals working in governmental policy, interdisciplinary think tanks, and other national government organisations involved in social housing and urban planning.

Critical Acclaim
‘This superb volume adroitly showcases the work of leading scholars across the closely intertwined themes of housing, home and society. Its quality and range – capturing the evolution of thinking within housing studies, developments within social theory, policy and practice interventions, and the intersection of housing with the economy and with politics – makes it essential reading for students, researchers, policy makers and practitioners concerned with some of the most pressing social challenges of our time.’

‘This volume reflects upon and updates social science perspectives on housing and the home. While aware of the legacy of social theoretical inquiry in housing, the editors usefully compile a compendium of contemporary and advancing perspectives on the practices, experiences, representations and politics of housing. By collecting insights from a notable assembly of leading and emerging authors, the book ably encapsulates the current diverse breadth of theory, method and empirical attention in housing studies. It is a valuable addition to any contemporary housing bookshelf.’
– Jago Dodson, RMIT University, Australia
‘As global housing challenges become ever more urgent, this Research Handbook provides a vital source of ideas, inspirations and evidence for how alternatives may be constructed and achieved. An impressive range of disciplines and geographies offer intriguing and compelling theoretical approaches, practices and methods on the experience, representations and politics of housing, home, society, tenure and ideology.’
