Om denne e-boken

Housing Instability Trends examines the growing crisis of homelessness and housing insecurity in urban areas, identifying core drivers and potential solutions. The book highlights how the financialization of housing, where housing is treated as an investment commodity, coupled with the erosion of social safety nets, significantly contributes to the problem. Rising housing costs and displacement disproportionately affect vulnerable populations, creating a precarious situation for many urban dwellers.

The book approaches the topic by contextualizing the current crisis within a historical timeline of urban development and policy shifts. It explores the economic forces behind instability, such as gentrification and wage stagnation, and analyzes the effectiveness of existing housing programs. The book also considers alternative approaches like inclusionary zoning and increased investment in affordable housing.

This comprehensive analysis connects to various fields, including urban planning and public health, to emphasize the far-reaching consequences of housing insecurity. Structured in three parts, the book first defines housing insecurity, then delves into its economic drivers, and finally examines the role of public policy.

It argues that housing instability isn't inevitable but results from policy choices prioritizing profit over people. By adopting an accessible writing style, Housing Instability Trends not only informs policy debates but also empowers readers to advocate for change toward more equitable and sustainable cities.
