The Impact of the Right to Housing in Times of Crises

This book examines the right to adequate housing as a solution to the polycrises of availability, affordability, adequacy and stability in property. Chapters analyse how the right to housing can be measured and what it means for a human right to make a change in domestic settings.

Combining quantitative research and legal scholarship, the book assesses the recognition of the right to housing in international and domestic legislation and case law. The expert contributors compare the impact of housing rights across the globe, including in Ireland, South Africa, Spain and the United Kingdom. This book provides new methodological and theoretical insights into the future of resolving issues of insufficient housing supply, soaring costs and increasing insecurity of tenure.

The Impact of the Right to Housing in Times of Crisis is greatly beneficial to scholars and students of property and human rights law, alongside researchers in law and social sciences. It is also a valuable resource for practitioners and policymakers working in housing.
