Housing market and housing policy in Hamburg

Abstract

"The analysis of Hamburg's housing market starts with an inspection of the long-term development of housing demand and housing supply in Sect. 11.2. Sect. 11.3 focuses an the current market conditions regarding rent level, real estate prices and vacancies. Housing policy in Germany and the specific design of policy measures in Hamburg are outlined and evaluated in Sect. 11.4. The section deals with the tenancy law, tax allowances, demand subsidies and supply subsidies. Social problems associated with the housing market in Hamburg are investigated in Sect. 11.5. In Sect. 11.6 another important issue of housing in the Hamburg region is discussed: the relationship between Suburbanisation, land use and urban development policy. Sect. 11.7 concludes.'"
