While the "traditional" family is no longer the norm in most cultures, housing research and policy is often still grounded in traditional assumptions about family formation and life course. This session provides a rich collection of evidence and ideas to challenge conventional wisdom and expand our thinking about what the home means to different inhabitants, and what challenges and changes can be made to accommodate different needs and promote equality, diversity and inclusion.
