Housing Question

Drawing on cutting edge perspectives from urban studies this book grants renewed interdisciplinary energy to the housing question. It explores how housing raises a series of vexing issues surrounding rights identity and justice in the modern city. Through finely detailed studies that illuminate national and regional particularities - ranging from analyses of urban planning in the Soviet Union the post-Katrina reconstruction of New Orleans to squatting in contemporary Lima - the volume underscores how housing questions matter in a wide range of contexts.
