Note:
|
Shelter is a basic human need. Individual wellbeing, the organisation of family life and most other forms of social activity, like work and education depend on it. Shelter is the dominant purpose of our built environment. It is also an important concern of governments, which regulate, directly and indirectly, the supply, quality, cost and security of shelter, and who gets what out of it. For all these reasons, shelter is significant legally. In this issue of Hot Topics, different forms of housing are discussed, as well as homelessness.
