Prevention Of Youth Homelessness: An Exploration Of Mediation In Networks Of Care And Place Attachment

该项目审查了全球南方城市青年人中无家可归现象的预防，为正在形成的消除无家可归现象的全球议程做出贡献。在全球南部，非正规住区受到了相当大的关注，但关于最极端形式的青年无家可归问题，几乎没有学术证据。在全球北方，正在出现一个系统性的重点是预防无家可归。这项研究将批判性地评估住房路径框架，它认识到结构和个人因素之间的相互作用，并将在了解迄今为止在全球南部未充分探索的无家可归者的经验具有显着的潜力。考虑到在城市中获得住房的困难，它将以城市权利概念为基础-侧重于适当空间的集体权利原则。

This project examines the prevention of homelessness amongst young people in cities of the Global South,contributing to the emerging global agenda to eradicate homelessness. In the Global South, considerable attention has been given to informal settlements but little academic evidence is available on the most extreme forms of youth homelessness. In the Global North a systemic focus on homelessness prevention is emerging. This study will critically appraise the housing pathways framework, it recognises the interplay between structural and individual factors and will have significant potential in understanding hitherto under-explored homeless experiences in the Global South. Given the struggles to access housing in the city, it will be informed by the Right to the City concept - focusing on principles of collective rights to appropriate space.
