Since the nineteenth century various housing solutions have
evolved, such as sprawling Australian home ownership and compact
Dutch social rental housing. This phenomenon cannot be adequately
explained with simple descriptions of key events, politics and
housing outcomes. Critical Realism and Housing Studies pushes
debate forward, arguing that a new ontological perspective is
required to address fundamental issues in housing and comparative
research. This book is clearly organized into three parts which:
evaluate ontological and methodological alternatives for
comparative housing research provide two historical case studies
inspired by critical realist ontology compare the causal tendencies
that explain diverging housing pathways in Australia and the
Netherlands. Lawson proposes that we turn to critical realism for
the solution. From this perspective the causal tendencies of
complex, open and structured housing phenomena are highlighted.
With this insight we are able to extract the key social
arrangements which promote different housing solutions from the
historical case studies. Social arrangements which are found to
influence alternative pathways in housing history concern the
property rights, circuit of savings and investment, as well as
labour and welfare relations. As they develop differently over time
and space they affect where, when and how housing solutions
develop.
