The changing shape of the East Asian housing model

This paper has two main objectives. The first is to elaborate the East Asian context and modes of housing, exploring evidence of the existence of a particular model characteristic of the region, and distinct from models characteristic of western advanced economies. The second objective is to identify developments that have begun to challenge East Asian housing systems. While home ownership is still by far the largest single housing tenure and an aspiration that remains undiminished, the severity of economic cycles, demographic trends and ‘new social risks’ have begun to test both the viability and sustainability of established housing and policy frameworks. This article thus provides not only a context for understanding housing approaches in the region but also the importance of this domain for considering socioeconomic and political changes in East Asia more generally.

The UK Civil Aviation Authority has launched a consultation on the impact of long-term agreements made by Stansted Airport and its principal customers on the airport’s market power. Under the Civil Aviation Act 2012 a market power test is required as part of the process to decide whether an airport should be regulated in the future and, if so, how. The consultation sets out the CAA’s provisional view that the deals Stansted has agreed with its two principal customers change the assessment of the airport’s market power, and mean that deregulation could be appropriate. However, this provisional view is subject to consultation, and may change depending on stakeholders’ responses.
