Abstract

Profiteering from house prices has a lot to answer for. The treatment of housing as just another commodity – central to the neoliberalist approach – has caused untold misery for millions across the world in recent decades. Robert Fishman, urban historian and professor at the Taubman College of Architecture and Planning of the University of Michigan, analyses the sources of the current situation in Western countries and looks at how architects have responded to its challenges. He uncovers examples of outstanding creativity and social engagement.
