Housing

Housing refers to the physical structures, buildings, and properties that are used for residential purposes, as well as the social and economic systems that are associated with them.

Housing is a basic human need, and adequate housing is recognized as a fundamental human right by many international organizations and governments.

Housing can take many different forms, from single-family homes to apartment buildings, condominiums, co-housing communities, and public housing projects.

Housing can also vary in terms of its affordability, quality, and accessibility, and can be influenced by a range of factors, such as land use policies, zoning regulations, building codes, and financial and lending practices.
