Chapter Chapter 8 in Housing Affordability and Housing Policy in Urban China, 2014, pp 129-134 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Housing affordability remains a complex and contested topic although it has long been a political language in housing policy (Maclennan and Williams 1990; Quigley and Raphael 2004). This could be attributed to the ambiguity of the concept and the way in which it is measured for the purpose of designing policies. Fundamentally, the issue relates to the causes and drivers of the affordability problem and the definition of the role of housing in the whole economic system and the society.
