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.
