Product Description
Today, all major cities in the world are experiencing a housing crisis. How did we get here, and what can we do about it?
Housing is everyone's need and right. However, today, our homes are being turned into commodities, and this situation is exacerbating inequality in cities. Real estate profits have become more important than housing as a social need. The poor are forced to pay more for worse housing, and neighborhood communities are subjected to the violence of gentrification and displacement through urban renewal.
Having or living in decent housing has today become a social privilege accessible only to those who can afford it. "In Defense of Housing" is a comprehensive study by leading urban planners Peter Marcuse and sociologist David Madden, who examine the housing crisis. Marcuse and Madden investigate the causes and consequences of the housing crisis and detail the need for progressive alternatives. They argue that the housing crisis cannot be solved with palliative policy changes. The housing crisis has deep political and economic roots. Therefore, the solution requires a radical response to the crisis.
