Course/Module description:
This seminar deals with the world of housing.A country’s housing stock offers a concrete snapshot of its socioeconomic divide and functions as both a financial millstone and social propellant. Whereas housing incurs large expenditures, saps a household budget, and may lead families to a downward fiscal spiral, it also creates wealth and savings via homeownership and is thus a source of enhanced socioeconomic status for households with means. We will explore ideas and concepts such as home, house, community, neighborhood, and settlements.
