Beyond the City Life: Assembling Everyday Family Life After Counterurbanisation
Despite a long history of urbanisation in Sweden, recent migration research notes a renewed interest in counterurbanisation as well as a higher propensity for families to become counterurban movers.

Strategic Lifestyle Management in Later Life: Swedish Lifestyle Movers in Malta Seeking the ‘Best of Both Worlds’
In affluent societies, an active choice of lifestyle is increasingly becoming an option. With increased possibilities for mobility, opportunities to lead a good life can be accessed across global space.

Stories of lifestyle mobility: Representing Self and Place in the Search for the 'Good Life
In recent decades, mobility researchers have paid increasing attention to the flows of relatively privileged individuals whose mobility practices are largely understood to be lifestyle-motivated, consumption-led and tourism-induced (e.g. Benson, M., & O'Reilly, K.

Property acquisition behavior has earlier been conceptualized in various models of consumer behavior; however, these models are not sophisticated enough to explain the multiple drivers and comp…
