Is filtering theory relevant for housing policy in metropolitan Helsinki? |
|
| Kuvaus / Description | |
| Housing filtering theory suggests that contemporary urban housing problems such as lack of affordable housing can best be alleviated by increasing supply at the top end of the housing market. As higher income groups move into new units, their old units will free up for the next income segment, triggering moving chains all the way to the lowest income groups. Using and mapping real estate transaction and income data, this research explores the viability of the housing filtering theory to inform housing policy in the Helsinki Metropolitan Region. The specificities of the research design will be developed with the supervisors.
Research can be conducted in Finnish or English. We expect adequate-level data managing and/or GIS skills. |
