The following research studies the housing behavior of young adults within a post-Fordist society. More specifically, it discusses the way young adults build up their housing career within the current society and how the post-Fordist context influences their housing behavior. Therefore, the research takes place on two different levels, namely the macro-social or societal level on the one hand and the level of the households on the other hand. Nevertheless, both levels interact constantly. Individual activities are always influenced by the society in which they take place, but conversely, a society can only exist when individual activities take place within a certain time and space.The purpose of this research is thus twofold. First of all, it investigates in what way the current societal developments shape the housing careers of young adults. Besides, it also examines the way in which the housing careers of young adults influence the society in which they take place and in what way they design the urban space. To reach these goals, the research starts by investigating in what way the Belgian society evolved from a Fordist to a post-Fordist society. Next, it continues by looking into detail to the developments that took place during the last decennia of post-Fordism. Specific attention is given to the evolution of migration dynamics and housing preferences since the beginning of the 1990s.In general, one can conclude that since the end of the Second World War, a shift took place from a standardized and stable society which was characterized by a period of economic growth in which the family took a central position to a destandardized, flexible, diverse and individualistic society. Besides, the results show that until the first half of the 1990s, housing choices were strongly related to the economical status of a certain period. Phases of economical growth went hand in hand with a reinforced suburbanization movement while this last process weakens during periods of economical recession. Nevertheless, from the second half of the 1990s, this relationship doesn’t coincide any more. Since then, suburbanization and urban interest seem to go hand in hand. But there where the city centre is especially attractive by the youngest young adults and non-Belgian population groups, the opposite is true for the suburban zones. Especially native (middle class) persons of 35 years and older opt for an suburban living environment. Remarkable to this last process is the increasing interest in the urban fringe and the commuter catchment zone instead of the classical suburbs as place of arrival. Empirical research to the individual housing behavior of middle class young adults show that the preferences concerning the housing type are very similar to that of their parents. The final goal is still the purchase of a single family dwelling with a private garden wich keeps on being encouraged by the government. As far as the preferred region concerns, the longer the more young adults seem to appreciate an urban living environment. But as the pursuit of the desired housing type is esteemed more important than the region where one will end up, lots of young adults exchange the city for the suburbs because of the lack (and thus the very high prices) of their preferred housing type within the city. This way, even today, suburbanization processes keep on going constantly.Nevertheless, even middle class young adults cannot afford a house in the oldest, classical but residential suburban areas anymore. Therefore, they are forced to go and look for alternative living environments or ways of living. This results in the rise of several housing strategies like second-hand suburbanization and suburbanization on a longer distance of town. Yet, the increased attractiveness of the city centre on young adults and non-Belgians, leads also to the shooting up of prices in these areas, especially in the very popular gentrification neighborhoods. Therefore, the latter region is spatially expanding in the direction of the cheaper urban working class areas which results in the rise of a so-called tension zones where middle class young adults start taking in the houses of the original but generally poorer inhabitants. As a consequence, the latter population group gets more and more excluded from its original home base and is forced to move to cheaper but often rather problematic neighborhoods. Looking to the social-economic profile of the young adults, the research shows that especially those groups which are typical for and clearly rising in number during the post-Fordist period, experience most difficulties. In general, we have to conclude that the mentality of young adults as well as the urban policies and the offer on the housing markets are still very Fordist of nature. At the same time, on the demographical, economical and socio-cultural level, society clearly evolves in a post-Fordist way. Building up an independent housing career in such an unbalanced society is not obvious. Nevertheless, the tensions resulting from this imbalance will finally force both the young adults as the policy makers and the housing market to adjust their behavior and offer according to the current needs

Het Observatorium voor Gezondheid en Welzijn publiceert een Welzijns- en gezondheidsatlas van Brussel-Hoofdstad. Aan dit boek werkten drie universitaire ploegen mee (ULB, VUB, KULeuven), gecoördineerd door het Observatorium. 53 uitgebreid becommentarieerde kaarten geven een ruimtelijk beeld van verschillende demografische, sociale, economische en gezondheidskenmerken van de Brusselse bevolking en van haar woonomgeving (huisvesting, groene ruimte, lawaai ').
