No area of law and policy is more central to our well-being than housing, yet research on the topic is too often produced in disciplinary or methodological silos that fail to connect to policy on the ground. This pathbreaking book, which features leading scholars from a range of academic fields, cuts across disciplines to forge new connections in the discourse. In accessible prose filled with cutting-edge ideas, these scholars address topics ranging from the recent financial crisis to discrimination and gentrification and show how housing law and policy impacts household wealth, financial markets, urban landscapes, and local communities. Together, they harness evidence and theory to capture the 'state of play' in housing, generating insights that will be relevant to academics and policymakers alike. This title is also available as Open Access.

En Belgique, il existe plusieurs composantes influençant l’abordabilité aux logements : celles du marché (les prix des logements), celles du ménage (les revenus) et celles des conditions économiques du pays (la capacité d’emprunt). Malgré les conditions socio-économiques s’améliorant, de plus en plus de ménages en quête de l’acquisition d’un bien sont contraints de gagner des territoires toujours plus éloignés des centres urbains, plus abordables financièrement, augmentant ainsi l’étalement urbain. Ces nouveaux lieux de résidences induisent des comportements migratoires quotidiens qui permettent de délimiter des bassins de vie en Belgique, les bassins d’emploi.

Ce mémoire a pour but d’étudier l’évolution de l’abordabilité aux logements à travers les prix des terrains à bâtir, des maisons ordinaires, des villas, des appartements et des constructions neuves entre les années 1977 et 2014. Cette étude est réalisée au sein de trois échelles d’analyse : la Belgique, les régions administratives et les bassins d’emploi belges. L’abordabilité permet de définir si la proportion de ménages ayant accès à un bien a augmenté ou a diminué durant la période d’étude. La méthodologie analyse les prix de ces biens et les composantes économiques de l’abordabilité de manière évolutive. Il peut être constaté que l’abordabilité aux logements a évolué durant la période d’étude et que l’effort financier fourni en 2014 pour l’achat d’un de ces biens, mis à part certaines exceptions à certaines échelles, est inférieur à l’effort fourni pour l’achat de ce même bien en 1977. En 2014, la proportion de ménages ayant accès à l’achat d’un logement est supérieure à celle de 1977. In Belgium, there are several components influencing housing affordability: the market (housing prices), the household (incomes) and the Belgians economic conditions (mortgage capacity). Despite the improving socio-economic conditions, more and more households in search of the acquisition of a property are forced to reach territories that are always further from city centers, more affordable, thus increasing urban sprawl. Those new residential areas induce daily migratory behaviours. Those form new basins of life in Belgium known as employment areas.

The purpose of this thesis is to study the evolution of housing affordability through the prices of building plots, ordinary houses, villas, apartments and new constructions between 1977 and 2014. This study is carried out within three scales of analysis: Belgium, administrative regions and employment areas. Affordability determines whether the proportion of households that get access to a property has increased or decreased during the study period. The methodology analyses the prices of those goods and the economic components of affordability in an evolutionary way. The study shows that housing affordability has evolved during the and that the financial effort provided in 2014 for the purchase of those is mostly less than what it was back in 1977. By 2014, the proportion of households with access to the purchase of a dwelling is higher than in 1977.
