Spendid Vacancies

In recent years, soaring real estate markets have created a worldwide housing crisis. The current boom was predictable: high demand, low supply and a dysfunctional economy in which wages are stagnant, added to restrictive zoning and poor public policy, have turned housing into an artificially scarce commodity. SPLENDID VACANCIES stresses the critical role of public vacant and under-utilized urban land in countering real estate speculation by exploiting the potential of small-scale infill residential buildings to contribute to urban centers’ affordable housing needs.
