Description This course provides an introduction to topics in Housing Policy in Ireland and internationally. While focused on Irish housing policy and its evolution and developments, this module also focuses substantive knowledge, theory and policy trends on housing issues worldwide, such as housing crisis, financialisation, affordability, housing rights and policy strategies at the local, national and international level. In this way, drawing from a diversity of policy examples, this module critically explores how housing production has changed overtime to reflect contemporary urban challenges, debates, dilemmas and conflicts in housing systems and policy processes. More importantly, it is expected that students in this course will at the end acquire skills and capabilities to identify key housing developments, develop critical policy skills and learn to assess potential policy solutions to housing problems. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
