讲座摘要：

讲座为全英文。英格兰，尤其是伦敦，仍然处于住房成本危机之中，这一危机的特点是房价中位数和工作场所收入之间的比例非常高。尽管收益停滞不前，房价在过去十年仍在继续上涨。危机的根源在于个人和经济体与住宅财产共存的问题关系。住房的社会目的，作为家庭，经常被置于其经济功能背后，作为资产，能够对抗弱势养老金或个人投资和股权释放的来源，或保证公共收入增加，维持消费者信心并提供证据'经济增长。英国的经济 - 以及英国其他地区的经济 - 几十年来一直处于远离制造业的漫长过渡期。它现在依赖于服务，特别是与房地产消费和债务生产相关的金融服务。在本演讲中，演讲人将简要介绍这种转变并检查相关的住房结果。二十世纪住房的重新运作是导致巨大社会不平等的一个原因，因为住房成为一个停放和提取财富的地方。如何应对这种不平等以及规划在提供更公平的结果和重新确定住房社会功能优先顺序方面可以发挥什么作用？

England, and especially London, remains in the grip of a housing cost crisis marked by extraordinary ratios between median house prices and work place earnings. House prices have continued to rise over the last decade despite a stagnation in earnings. At the root of the crisis is the problematic relationship that individuals and economies share with residential property. Housing’s social purpose, as home, is frequently relegated behind its economic function, as asset, able to offer a hedge against weakening pensions or source of investment and equity release for individuals, or guarantee rising public revenues, sustain consumer confidence and provide evidence of ‘growth’ for economies. England’s economy – along with that of the rest of the UK-has been on a long transition away from manufacturing for several decades. It is now reliant on services and particularly the financial services associated with real estate consumption and debt production. In this presentation, I will briefly trace that transition and examine associated housing outcomes. The re-functioning of housing in the twentieth century is a cause of great social inequality, as housing becomes a place to park and extract wealth. What can be done to address this inequality and what role might planning play in delivering fairer outcomes and in re-prioritising housing’s social function?
