Research
Current Research Projects:
My current research mainly investigates issues of housing affordability: how did owning a home become unaffordable? For younger generations, what prevents them from entering the housing ladder? Whether the housing assistance policies work effectively in helping with housing difficulties? For disadvantaged households like low-income groups whether housing assistance is equally accessible to them? I also developed related research interests which explored housing affordability difficulties for migrant workers or rural to urban migrants. I'm also interested in topics of city attractiveness and city resilience.
