Students will learn about the symbolic significance of owning a home, the importance of homeownership for wealth accumulation, the history of providing housing for the poor, and the difficulties in setting housing policy across multiple scales (individual, neighborhood, city, region). The course will use both theoretical and empirical scholarship to explore the spatial and social segmentation of the U.S. housing market through topics such as segregation, gentrification, and the privatization of public space. In the process, students will gain a greater appreciation for the social, economic and political structures of American society, the successes and failures of U.S. housing policies, and the link between housing policy and community development. The class will include a critical assessment of the role of housing in the U.S. economy and provide possible policy solutions to creating inclusive communities through housing policy.
