‘The book's interdisciplinary and multi-country approach to housing studies is a strength. As is its multiscalar understanding of housing access, starting from the individual household through the lens of residential moves, to housing units based on their design and geographic placement, then to neighborhoods as independent social units sorting residents and housing across the urban mosaic, and finally to the institutional and country levels through macro demographic forces and policies shaping housing demand and supply. Written in a clear style, this book is suitable for students and scholars in geography, sociology, urban studies, urban planning, economics, and regional studies.’
