ABSTRACT
How can we create a housing system worth inheriting? How can we pass on to future generations a housing system which not only meets the minimal needs of households for shelter but one in which, in the words of Peter King (2008), we can ‘dwell’: where there is ‘privacy and security’, where there is ‘the possibility of intimacy’, where ‘intimacy can be protected’, where ‘we can be complacent — take what we are and what we have for granted — where we can ‘exercise some control’ and make choices, where we can express our self and where we share ‘a common interest based on the shared experience of housing itself’?
