Comparative housing research

Mark Stephens and Rod Hick

Chapter 10 in Research Handbook on Housing, the Home and Society, 2024, pp 141-157 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter seeks to provide an overview of developments in comparative housing research. It begins with the first attempts to create frameworks through which to interpret housing systems, and which identified economic development as being the principal driver of change. It then examines critically the housing/welfare regime frameworks that have come to dominate theoretical comparative research. Finally, the challenges faced when comparing housing outcomes are examined before summarizing the state of the art and identifying challenges for the future.
