Housing policies and housing markets drive some of the biggest
inequalities in modern society. These inequalities go beyond the
accumulation of housing wealth to affect life chances in general:
educational and job opportunities, generational opportunities,
and even the ease with which people can start a family.
This talk examines the ways in which governmental policy
interacts with housing to produce the economic and social
inequalities we see today. It also introduces the PROPEL
project (PROactive Policymaking for Equal Lives), funded
by an FNR ATTRACT grant. PROPEL studies the politics of
housing and seeks to generate policy options that promote
equality.
