Housing and Life Course Dynamics

Deepening inequalities and wider processes of demographic, economic and social change are altering how people across the Global North move between homes and neighbourhoods over the lifespan.
This book presents a life course framework for understanding how the changing dynamics of people’s family, education, employment and health experiences are deeply intertwined with ongoing shifts in housing behaviour and residential pathways. Particular attention is paid to how these processes help to drive uneven patterns of population change within and across neighbourhoods and localities.
Integrating the latest research from multiple disciplines, the author shows how housing and life course dynamics are together reshaping 21st-century inequalities in ways that demand greater attention from scholars and public policy makers.
"In-depth but utterly readable, this book shows how who we are matters for our housing and how housing helps make us into who we are." Clara Mulder, University of Groningen
Rory Coulter is Associate Professor of Quantitative Human Geography at University College London.
