Studies specifically addressing single-family housing dynamics are becoming less common, indicating a shift towards more diverse housing typologies and communal living arrangements. - Historical Housing Policies:
While historical analyses have been significant, there is a trend towards more contemporary issues, particularly those arising from recent global challenges like the COVID-19 pandemic. - Government Intervention in Housing Markets:
