Publisher Description: Sociopolitical views on housing have been brought to the fore in recent years by economic crises and rises in migration. Through case studies covering a range of geographical contexts, this book's chapters build a narrative encompassing issues of housing equality, the biopolitics of dwelling and its associated activism, initiatives for social sustainability, and cohabitation of the urban terrain. This volume presents an ethical view of the stakeholders who are typically unaccounted for, thus offering a critique of recent governmental policy on housing access and development. |
Contributor Bio(s): Cairns, Graham: - Graham Cairns is a visiting scholar in architecture and design at both Florida State University and Ravensbourne, UK. |
