The book offers a greater understanding of the characteristics of post-growth society - changing demography, economy and society - in relation to housing, and consider how a definitive shift to the post-growth period has produced new housing issues. Through analysis of the impact on five different areas: space, values, housing stock, household change, and transfers, the authors use institutions and politics as overarching analytical tools to examine the above contemporary housing issues in a post-growth context, and consider any relevance from the Japanese experiences in the wider regional and global context.
