It integrates methodological and philosophical approaches to assist in the making of comparisons across issues, concerns, disciplines and countries, and links theory, research and practice.

In these studies a wide range of social science, design, management and policy perspectives are harnessed to enrich our understanding of the central place in people's life, their homes.
