Abstract

This chapter unpacks housing as a social determinant of health in developed economies, broadly considering the interconnected influences of history, lived and felt experiences, changing policies, welfare regimes, governance, regulation and the evolution of financialization on health-related outcomes. The realities of housing markets globally are extreme reflections of global wealth, excess and profit on one hand and personal poverty, struggle and neglect on the other. Housing is often unaffordable, insecure and unjust, all of which result in negative implications for health. Housing markets are in crisis, and need to be reconsidered, reconceptualized and revitalized, through effective state and welfare policies, progressive social and economic reforms and effective regulation to improve lived and felt experiences of housing, home and health.
