Abstract:
The interconnectedness of markets is a useful measure of risk and therefore an indicator of economic stability. In this paper, the interconnectedness among housing markets in different metropolitan areas was analyzed. Interconnectedness between the housing market and other markets were also calculated. In regional studies, West Coast housing markets were found to be the most influential on housing markets elsewhere. Interestingly, overall connectedness across regions steadily increased prior to the subprime mortgage crisis, representing a systematic risk increase. When analyzing diverse markets in relation to the housing market, the stock market was found to have the highest interconnectedness, suggesting that financial health of stock market depend on financial health of housing market. The increased systematic risk due to high housing market interconnectedness coupled with the interdependence between the stock market and the housing market were key indicators of the subprime mortgage crisis. Such measures should be monitored in the future to avoid a similar economic disaster.

Abstract:
Single-family detached homes—the lowest-density housing type—continue to dominate the U.S. home construction industry. These homes are carbon-intensive and automobile dependent; the built environments they produce militate against civic relations and attitudes. Cities need to increase density, support multimodality, and develop social capital, but these issues are not propelling cities to diversify their housing stock. The objective of this research is to facilitate this shift by establishing economic arguments for increased density and housing diversity. Municipal-level U.S. Census data is used to explore the interurban relationships between diversity in housing stocks and unemployment rates in 146 mid-size American cities. A measure of diversity, Shannon’s H, is applied to housing stock and found to be strongly associated with lower unemployment for workers over 25 years old after controlling for measures of urban social burden. In contrast to the much-heralded “trade-offs” between environmental quality, social equity, and economic development, these findings suggest that the dense, walkable, low-carbon city, and the economically sustainable city might be the same place.

Abstract:
Since the beginning of 2020, the "Nurly Zher" housing and communal development program for 2020-2025 came into force in Kazakhstan. Within the framework of this program there are tasks of capital repair and renovation of the housing stock. The passportization of the housing stock was adopted as one of the measures to solve this problem. At the same time there are some discrepancies in the statistical data between the Committee of Statistics of the Ministry of National Economy of the RK and Local Executive Authorities with a simultaneous increase in the volume of housing construction. This article examines the volume of residential buildings commissioned in Nur-Sultan depending on changes in the population of the city. It is assumed that as the number of people in the city will increase the volume of housing stock. To understand the volume of housing in Nur-Sultan in the period of the program "Nurly Zher" in the article gives a forecast increase in commissioned housing by 62% by 2025, compared with the value at the end of 2020. Based on the data obtained it is concluded that for a more effective solution to the problem of capital repair and renovation of housing stock an alternative approach or tool is needed.

Abstract:
The subject of this research is the process of converting former industrial sites to residential facilities. The object is the housing stock of Moscow. The author explores the theoretical aspects of reproduction of housing stock, giving special attention to conversion of the category of industrial buildings to residential category, which expands the quantitative characteristics of the housing stock. Analysis is conducted on the statistical data of conversion of industrial sites to residential facilities, as well as the available examples of redevelopment of the industrial sites. The conclusion is made that the housing stock is an interlink between many life spheres and the development of its characteristics is required on a permanent basis, which in essence is the reproduction of housing stock through reconstruction, modernization or total building renovation. The implementation of such method as conversion of former industrial sited into residential facilities would contribute to the expansion of the real estate market and increase in the number of residential units, minimizing many issues in the housing stock. The author proves the feasibility of solving issues in the housing stock of the city through conversion of former industrial sites to housing facilities. The novelty of this research lies in the fact that many authors view such method as the solution of disused former industrial buildings, rather than from the perspective of minimization of issues in the housing stock.

Abstract:
The housing stock is the most important national treasure, all Russian society and government bodies are interested in its growth and preservation. The very sphere associated with the management of the operation of the housing stock is constantly developing and requires improvement at all levels of management. The managing organization, as an executor of housing and communal services, is the basic link between consumers and contractors of these services, as well as providers of communal resources. Bearing responsibility to citizens for the uninterrupted and high-quality provision of housing and communal services, the managing organization constitutes the economic core of the entire economy. Therefore, an assessment of the current state of management of the operation of the housing stock will make it possible to develop directions for improving the activities of managing organizations, which will help to increase the efficiency of their activities and the level of quality of services provided for managing the operation of the housing stock. In the article, the author’s attention is drawn to the dynamics of indicators of the housing stock and its components in the Russian Federation. The features of the housing stock as a management object are presented. The analysis of: financial indicators of the activities of enterprises for managing the operation of the housing stock in Russia (balanced financial result; profitability of works, services; return on assets; autonomy ratio; ratio of own circulating assets; current liquidity ratio); indicators for payment for services provided by enterprises for managing the operation of the housing stock (accrued housing payments to the population; actually paid by the population for housing payments; actual level of housing payments by the population; arrears of the population for housing payments); indicators of debt on financial obligations of enterprises carrying out activities for the management of the operation of the housing stock. Highlighted the problems that the owners of the housing stock in the event of arrears in payment for services.

Abstract The aim of this paper is to present the concept, classification and significance of the involvement of tenants in the processes of managing council flats. Tenant participation is becoming an increasingly popular subject of research owing to numerous benefits in the field of social housing stock management, such as better adjustment of property managers’ services to tenants’ needs and preferences, or an increase in the efficiency and economics of management. However, the mobilization of tenants will be successful only if they can participate in the decision-making process in a relatively high degree. Our discussion focuses on social housing stock in Poland.

Abstract:
The author develops a simulation model to estimate the optimum timing and maximum impact of full rehabilitation of New Zealand housing stock. The model is based on the theories of classical population dynamics. Data used in the model include empirical estimates of the mortality of New Zealand housing stock, assumed schedules of depreciation of dwelling services, and assumed schedules of annual maintenance costs. The dwelling service years provided by dwellings serve as a proxy for benefits of rents or imputed rents (excluding rent for land). The cost to construct one dwelling and fractions thereof serve as a proxy for costs of maintenance, rehabilitation, replacement, and new construction. Optimum timing of rehabilitation can increase the quantity of benefits provided by the housing stock per unit total cost but a reduction in the growth rate of new dwellings has a greater impact in achieving the same objective. A stationary and stable housing stock can provide 45% more dwelling services per unit total cost than a housing stock which doubles in size every 35 years.

Abstract:
The housing and communal conditions of the city of Sevastopol are examining. The purpose is to determine the level of development of the housing and communal services of the city based on the study of housing conditions and the regulatory framework in this area. In particular, the analysis showed that there are positive trends in this industry, such as an increase in the total housing stock, major repairs in most of the apartment buildings, a decline in the proportion of emergency housing and an increase in the improvement of housing stock with water and gas pipelines, and heating. There is also a positive trend in the actual and planned indicators, which reflect the level of development of the housing and communal services of the city of Sevastopol. It was revealed that a fairly large number of the population needs to be provided with residential premises, but, on average, only 2% of the population of the city receive it annually.

Abstract:
After numerous failed state-led initiatives to stem the exodus of middle-income residents in postwar New York, in the late 1960s landlords and major real estate associations proposed their own solution to increase homeownership and retain the middle class: converting rental housing into cooperatives. The middle-income tenants of this housing, however, initially widely rejected apartment ownership, preferring the security of rent-regulated housing. This set off a decade-long battle over the control and nature of moderate- and middle-income housing. This chapter traces how over the 1970s middle-income tenants came to embrace apartment ownership, a shift that pushed the housing stock toward market-rate condominiums and cooperatives and exacerbated the city’s mounting affordable housing crisis.

Abstract:
As much as we build, we demolish and destroy, and building cultures are defined, in part, by the tendency towards obsolescence of products and objects, and the restless urge to renew and reconstruct. The sounds and sights of demolition are ever present, ranging from the visibility of wrecking machinery to the production of rubble dust and dirt in the atmosphere. The effects are irrational, often disruptive, and include the loss of scarce materials; the increase in waste and landfill; particulate and noise pollution due to demolition processes; disturbance to, and destruction of, local ecologies; and the loss of scarce, usually low income, housing contributing to shortfalls in housing stock. Chapter 6 conceives of construction as dominated by a demolition paradigm in which there is rarely consideration, by actors in the sector, of the life cycle of buildings and the appropriate means to salvage, re-use and/or adapt them. There is a rush to demolish instead of ‘creating a value in the end of life of a structure’ (LaMore, et al., 2018: 1).

Abstract:
This Chapter details how the Irish housing systems, and housing systems across the world, are experiencing a structural ‘shock’. We are in the midst of an unprecedented housing and homelessness crisis. This details the dramatic increase in housing inequalities and exclusion, from the rise in homelessness, mortgage arrears and foreclosures, to the collapse in home-ownership rates and, in particular, the emergence of ‘Generation Rent’ and ‘Generation Stuck at Home’. This new Generation Rent is being locked out of traditional routes to affordable secure housing such as home ownership, social housing and secure low-rent housing. They are being pushed into private rental markets with unaffordable high rents and insecurity of tenure, or forced into hidden homelessness, couchsurfing, sleeping in cars, or pushed back to live with their parents. Ireland has had the largest fall in home ownership rates among European Union (EU) countries in the past three decades. This chapter shows that the current housing situation and crisis is not a temporary blip, but a deep and profound structural crisis that is in danger of becoming a permanent crisis. Our national and global housing systems are in crisis and this is a key juncture.

Abstract:
This chapter details how the younger generations and lower-income households are most affected by the housing and homelessness crisis. It shows how huge aspects of their lives have become precarious and insecure, as a result of insecure, low-paid and often part-time jobs, and insecure and unaffordable housing. Generation Rent is the new housing precariat, living with precarious housing, precarious work contracts and an inability to access mortgage credit, alongside unaffordable house prices and rent. It details the structural shift in Ireland’s housing system: decline in home-ownership rates and rise in private rental sector. Generation Rent now extends to the middle-aged and older generations as shown in the increase in the number of people renting in their 40s and 50s. It looks at increasing housing cost overburden rates where young people on low incomes are most severely affected by the issue of housing affordability than young people on higher incomes. Generation Rent also includes Generation Stuck at Home - those forced to live at home with theirparents as they cannot afford to move out into the rental sector, orbecause they have been evicted, unable to meet mortgages, cannot access social housing, or are trying to savefor a deposit.

Abstract:
This chapter compares the trajectory of housing prices in adjacent neighborhoods separated by a municipal border. In each of these pairs, one neighborhood is located within the city limits and the other is just across the border into the suburbs. The housing stock and local attributes of these neighborhoods were virtually identical, but residents on either side of the municipal border were assessed different property tax rates and had access to a different set of public goods. This chapter shows that the price premium associated with suburban units increased at the border as the black population rose in the city from 1960 to 1980, even though the racial composition of the neighborhoods under consideration was little changed. This pattern suggests that the decline in the demand for city residence with black in-migration was, in part, due to fiscal/political changes at the citywide level.

Abstract:
This article presents a system dynamic modeling approach to simulate the effect of a homeless prevention strategy on the homeless population in Los Angeles. Despite the implementation of rehousing strategy suggested by policy makers, the Los Angeles homeless population has increased over time. Traditional statistics analysis is widely used in researching this topic, but using aggregated data fails to provide sufficient explanations on the correlation between the permanent supportive housing and homeless population. Our system dynamics model overcomes this challenge in a unique way using stocks and flows. We model stocks as key factors that have significant impact on homelessness, including prevented homeless population, the population of the homeless who are in the temporary housing programs, and the population of those who are settled in the permanent supportive housing program. Flows provide details on how stocks are related to each other, allowing memories of the history and interconnection in the homeless system. Each stock may affect the other due to time delays and feedback loops through inflows and outflows. To assess the impact of homeless prevention programs, we perform simulation and scenario analysis by adjusting model inputs including ratios for prevented homelessness and the rapid re-housing. The system dynamics model helps unveil the unintended consequence introduced by the Housing-First policy and allows us to evaluate various policies to come up with data-driven recommendations. The simulation results suggest that prevention strategy could lead to a positive impact on reducing the homeless population. Indeed, the use of Housing-First policy along with a preventative program for homelessness could be considered as a more effective strategy for the mitigation of LA homelessness.

Abstract:
A hydraulic pressure energy harvester (HPEH) device, which utilizes a housing to isolate a piezoelectric stack from the hydraulic fluid via a mechanical interface, generates power by converting the dynamic pressure within the system into electricity. Prior work developed an HPEH device capable of generating 2187 microWatts from an 85 kPa pressure ripple amplitude using a 1387 mm3 stack. A new generation of HPEH produced 157 microWatts at the test conditions of 18 MPa static pressure and 394 kPa root-mean-square pressure amplitude using a 50 mm3 stack, thus increasing the power produced per volume of piezoelectric stack principally due to the higher dynamic pressure input. The stack and housing design implemented on this new prototype device yield a compact, high-pressure hydraulic pressure energy harvester designed to withstand 35 MPa. The device, which is less than a 2.54 cm in length as compared to a 5.3 cm length of a previous HPEH, was statically tested up to 21.9 MPa and dynamically tested up to 19 MPa with 400 kPa root-mean-square dynamic pressure amplitude. An inductor was included in the load circuit in parallel with the stack and the load resistance to increase the power output of the device. A previously developed electromechanical power output model for this device that predicts the power output given the dynamic pressure ripple amplitude is compared to the power results. The power extracted from this device would be sufficient to meet the proposed applications of the device, which is to power sensor nodes in hydraulic systems.

Abstract:
State-of-the-art hydraulic hose and piping systems employ integral sensor nodes for structural health monitoring in order to avoid catastrophic failures. These systems lend themselves to energy harvesting for powering sensor nodes. The foremost reason is that the power intensity of hydraulic systems is orders of magnitude higher than typical energy harvesting sources considered to date, such as wind turbulence, water flow, or vibrations of civil structures. Hydraulic systems inherently have a high energy intensity associated with the mean pressure and flow. Accompanying the mean pressure is what is termed dynamic pressure ripple caused by the action of pumps and actuators. Pressure ripple is conducive to energy harvesting as it is a deterministic source with an almost periodic time domain behavior. Pressure ripple generally increases in magnitude with the mean pressure of the system, which in turn increases the power that can be harvested. The harvested energy in hydraulic systems could enable self-powered wireless sensor nodes for applications such as energy-autonomous structural health monitoring and prognosis. An energy harvester prototype was designed for generating low-power electricity from dynamic pressure ripples. The prototype employed an axially-poled off-the-shelf piezoelectric stack. A housing isolated the stack from the hydraulic fluid while maintaining mechanical coupling to the system to allow for dynamic pressure induced deflection of the stack. The system exhibits an attractive off-resonance energy harvesting problem since the fundamental resonance of the piezoelectric stack is much higher than the frequency content of ripple. Although the energy harvester is not excited at resonance, the high energy intensity of the ripple results in significant electrical power output. The prototype provided a maximum output of 1.2 mW at 120Ω. With these results, it is clear that the energy harvester provides non-negligible power output suitable for powering sensors and other low power components. This work also presents electromechanical model simulations for predicting the piezoelectric power output in terms of the force transmitted from the pressure ripple as well as experimental characterization of the power output as a function of the force from the ripple.
