Inhabitation in Nature
Rejecting the assumption that housing and cities are separate from nature, David Clapham advances a new research framework that integrates housing with the rest of the natural world. Demonstrating the wider context of human lives and the impact of housing on the non-human environment, the author considers the impact of current inhabitation practices on climate change and biodiversity.
Showcasing the significant contribution that housing policy can make in mitigating environmental problems, this book will stimulate debate amongst housing researchers and policy makers.
“David Clapham’s new book provides a judicious overview of some of the major debates in housing studies. It offers important insights on the role of contemporary housing and its relationship to the wider world.” Keith Jacobs, University of Tasmania
David Clapham is Honorary Professor of Housing and Urban Studies at Glasgow University.
