Introducing novel theoretical, empirical and practical investigations with case studies from UK, Europe, South America and South East Asia, the book offers a novel global outlook on how contemporary homes are facing genuine challenges from operational, economic, spatial, social and wellbeing perspectives.

The changing demographics of our modern society have inevitably impacted the dynamics and relationships within the home from being personal and private to that of multiple work relationships; domestic work, care for older people, or supporting people with special needs. Whilst the home is a concept universally experienced, permeating every aspect of our lives, it remains an entity whose influence on health and wellbeing is poorly understood.

This book brings together 17 different contributions from scholars, researchers and practitioners from different disciplinary and professional backgrounds including three feature articles by leading figures, such as Lord Best and Baroness Hollins. The chapters are organised within three parts that look at the triangle of people + work + care in the home. At a time when homes are increasingly becoming local hubs for care and wellbeing, this volume is a critical and useful addition to current literature in the social sciences, humanities, economics, culture, care and wellbeing in the domestic sphere.

This book highlights the role of the home as a central social unit of resilience in the face of climate change and sustainable living in contemporary cities.

It examines how climate change affects households, how we can curb its impact, and how policy, planning, architecture and economy can be re-envisioned to support the home within the framework of national and international policy circles. A multidisciplinary inquiry into how families and institutions can generate a sustainable home within an ecosystem of net-zero neighbourhoods and cities, Home and Climate Change investigates how patterns of living, learning and consumption could indicate a far more significant and sustainable impact on both the family and its carbon footprint in the long term.

Broadly covering areas of philosophy, housing, ageing, work/life balance, community participation, as well as educational institutions, this book is an essential reading for researchers, professionals and policymakers at the interaction of climate change policies, strategies and innovation in local domestic environments.

Northern Ireland has a complex urbanism with multilayered socio-spatial politics. In this environment, issues of communication, self-representation and expression of identity are central to the experience of urban space and architecture where the dichotomy of division and shared living are spatially exercised in everyday life. Unlike other studies in the area, this book focuses on the everyday experiences of local communities in both public and private spheres - issues of ‘shareness’ - challenging conventional approaches to divided cities. The book aims to layer its narratives of architectural and social developments as an urban experience in post-conflict settings over the past two decades.
