- Abstract
- This chapter presents the concept of a ‘housing market arena’, which offers an alternative to the concept of a ‘housing market area’. The latter has proven to be problematic in the practice of housing policy, since it is based on definable and well-defined geographic contours. Therefore, the ongoing debate about “which scale level is best” continues to feed the debate, while the dynamics in the housing market are many times more complex and multiple than with structuralistic geographical approaches. The concept of ‘arena’ seems to be more suitable in this respect, since it deals better with the multiple dynamics and the behavior of actors, who play a significant role in the housing market. Thus, this chapter also shows how geographic and actor-relational research methods could be combined, in order to present a more comprehensive picture of an issue in need for concrete tools in housing and spatial policy.
