Utilising a comparative approach in five gateway cities, he provides a superb understanding of the politics of booms, lifting the debate beyond narrow housing and real estate studies.

The author describes how the globalization of real estate has rapidly inflated demand and uncoupled local housing prices from local wages, causing acute problems of affordability, availability, and inequality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book implicates government policy in massive real estate price inflation, describing a shift from welfare-based to asset-based societies. It also highlights the relatively unique experience in Singapore, where asset-based housing policy has encouraged the dispersion of ownership and accumulation through an increased supply of subsidised leasehold apartments and the regulation of disruptive investment flows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eHousing Booms in Gateway Cities\u003c\/i\u003e is an ideal resource for academics, students and policymakers with an interest in urban geography, sociology, and planning, housing studies, and any of the cities discussed in the book. It is an innovative treatment of housing as a central category in wealth accumulation in urban economies and societies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46854589087980,"sku":"9781119853602","price":47.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781119853602.jpg?v=1759248033"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/david-ley.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
