As cities expand and rents rise, what does it really mean to have a
home? 'A marvel, by an inspiring and deeply humane writer' -
Philippe Sands A home is important because it offers sanctuary and
privacy. It can help improve mental health and emotional
resilience, and it can help break people out of cycles of poverty.
Yet in the past 30 years we've seen home ownership dwindle as
council housing stocks deplete and more of us are caught in
insecure tenancies. And it's not just London - there isn't a single
major city in the world today not suffering from an affordable
housing crisis. Why does this matter - and what can be done?
Drawing on his own history of housing insecurity and his
professional career as a planning barrister, Hashi Mohamed examines
the myriad aspects of housing - from Right-to-Buy to Grenfell,
slums and evictions to the Bank of Mum and Dad. A Home of One's Own
is a deeply personal study of the crisis confronting global
metropoles - and an exploration of the ways we can remove barriers,
improve equality and create cities where more people have a place
to call their own.
