The impact of lifestyles on housing in Flanders

This research deals with lifestyle factors as one of the triggers of housing migration and preferences (Feijten et al., 2008) and is related to the current societal debates on individuallization, gentrification and polarization. The central hypothesis is that people have different lifestyles according to their residential environment. The aim is to introduce (data about) societal themes as segregation, safety and socio-spatial inequalities in the housing policy discourses.
