Forms of Housing Production: Initial Formulations

In: Environment and planning. A, Band 15, Heft 7, S. 917-928

Abstract

The paper introduces the concept of forms of housing production. These are defined as combinations of conditions of production, elements of labour process, and relations of production articulated through a particular constellation of agents (builder, labourer, developer, consumer). The following forms are identified: 'pure' capitalist, self-produced, individual contract, institutional contract, and speculative production.
