Sebastian Kurtenbach/Rolf G. Heinze: Die Wohnkrise (Klartext)

Housing has become a matter of life and death. What began as a problem in major cities has long since grown into a societal crisis everywhere, affecting all social classes, hindering economic transformation, and widening the social divide ever further. Housing is a fundamental right—when the ability to own a home becomes purely a matter of luck and one’s background, the promise of social mobility loses its credibility, and confidence in a better future fades.

A compelling call to rethink housing as a fundamental right and the foundation of a stable society.

Sebastian Kurtenbachis a professor of political science at Münster University of Applied Sciences and a private lecturer at Ruhr University Bochum.

Rolf G. Heinzeis a senior professor and executive scientific director of the Institute for Housing, Real Estate, Urban, and Regional Development at Ruhr University Bochum.
