Perceptions of Power in English Social Housing
The erosion of affordable and secure housing in England prompts questions about power and its role in the “housing crisis”. While crucial for understanding housing politics, theory-grounded, actor-based power analyses remain rare. This study combines theories of power and systems thinking to examine perceptions of power in the English social housing sector. Using 38 interview-based systems maps, we trace instrumental, structural, and discursive p…
Exploring drivers and impacts of construction halt measures in Guangzhou
The construction sector is a major contributor to the climate crisis. In China, rapid urbanisation has intensified these effects, prompting cities like Guangzhou to implement construction halt measures targeting high-emission and resource-intensive projects. While these measures aim to reduce pollution and carbon emissions, their systemic consequences remain poorly understood. This paper addresses this gap by investigating the environmental, soci…

Identifying leverage points in the social housing system
Housing, street and health
As the world’s population grows in cities, urban dwellers spend a large amount of time inside their home, making housing health ever more important. Critical for residents’ health, the interactions between indoor residential environments and outdoor environmental conditions (e.g. air pollution, noise, heat) are mediated by the controversial and evolving relationship between housing and the street. Currently, there is a lack of ways to integrate a…
A systems perspective for residential preferences and dwellings
Worldwide, there is an urgent imperative to provide a housing supply that is environmentally sustainable as well as acceptable and desirable for its users. A holistic and integrative understanding of the relationship between households’ residential preferences and dwellings is needed to achieve this goal. This paper addresses this gap by conceptualizing and operationalizing housing as a system whose human and material behaviours are determined by…
Explore, engage, empower
Action-oriented, transformative, and transdisciplinary approaches are increasingly heralded as promising tools that enable researchers not only to produce new knowledge about a situation, but also to actively engage in tackling it; however, such approaches raise critical questions about the methodological implications and conflicts involved in pursuing multiple objectives concurrently. This article seeks to advance this debate by examining the me…
ReMoTe-S. Residential Mobility of Tenants in Switzerland
Sustainable housing is a key priority for Switzerland. To provide both environmentally and socioculturally sustainable housing, Swiss property owners need to navigate the complex and context-specific system that articulates the match between households' preferences and the dwellings available to them-i.e., residential mobility. In response to this need, this paper outlines ReMoTe-S, an agent-based model of tenants' residential mobility in Switzer…
Tenants’ residential mobility in Switzerland
The interaction between residential preferences and dwellings is a complex system whose function thus far remains insufficiently explored. In this paper, we investigate housing functions as orchestrators of households' residential mobility in the context of Swiss rental housing. We propose a theoretical multi-step model and use survey data from 878 Swiss tenants to inspect the model's linkages. From the statistical analysis, we firstly observe th…
Obstacles and opportunities for reducing dwelling size to shrink the environmental footprint of housing
The environmental footprint of housing is greatly influenced by the size of a dwelling. Housing size is the result of households' dwelling selections; accordingly, it is critical to consider residential preferences and choices to inform efforts towards housing sustainability. This study aimed to understand tenants' preferences for and choices of housing size as one amongst several dwelling characteristics and identify obstacles and opportunities …
