In metropolitan areas with large populations, university students suffer from spatial inequalities due to inadequate housing supply and uneven distribution of housing environment elements, leading to stress, instability, and insecurity (Sotomayor et al., 2022; Fang and van Liempt, 2021). Since students are a vulnerable group with limited housing choices, an over-reliance on market distribution...

The housing crisis in Germany, particularly the shortage of affordable housing in metropolitan areas, poses a significant challenge for middle- and low-income households. However, new buildings alone cannot resolve this issue, especially in the context of the climate crisis. Construction activities and the operation of buildings are among the largest contributors to CO2 emissions in Germany...

Housing has been one of Tรผrkiye's significant urban problems in recent decades. There are two broad categories of factors that directly influence this multifaceted problem. The supply-side factors are mainly the economic and institutional factors that aim to solve the problem by using the housing supply as a tool. Since high rents have been considered the primary cause of the high costs of...

Urban densification is often considered the best strategy for achieving sustainability goals and fostering social mix in urban contexts. While social mix has been used as a central argument to promote densification in several contexts, research has shown that densification is often linked to rising rents and housing prices, displacement, and exclusionary pressures if effective housing policies...

In the city of Milan, the gap between salaries and housing costs continues to widen. As the divide deepens, homeownership (by those who already own or inherit) or financial support are becoming almost necessary conditions for living and working in the city. For those who cannot rely on either of these conditions, the almost constant upward trend of property values and rents has a strong impact...

Informal settlements are a global issue affecting many countries, including Jakarta.

The concept of 'collaborative housing' refers to various housing models that feature shared spaces or facilities designed for collaboration, resident solidarity, participation in the redevelopment or design processes, and internal governance based on collaboration (Vestbro, 2010a; Bresson and Labit, 2020; Fromm, 2012; Czischke and Huisman, 2018).

According to Lefebvre (2013), the prioritization of exchange value in urban space forms the basis of urban injustice and inequality. Under the influence of neoliberal policies, housing has transformed from a basic need for shelter into an investment, prestige, and rent-generating commodity. The 2000s, as a period when neoliberal policies became spatialized, marked a time of significant changes...

Many Southern European countries are characterised by a variety of inhabitation practices that, despite their extreme phenomenological diversity, can all be labelled as expressions of informality/illegality: the construction of unauthorised housing units by the middle class, informal inhabitation practices by marginalised or racialized subjects, the illegitimate occupation of public housing...

A diverse housing supply is widely recognized as a crucial mechanism for mitigating socioeconomic segregation by allowing different income groups to coexist within the same urban fabric. However, most existing research has focused on cities where housing typologies are spatially clustered, reinforcing patterns of residential segregation (Glaeser and Gyourko 2018, Tiebout 1956).
