Deepening inequalities and wider processes of demographic, economic and social change are altering how people across the Global North move between homes and neighbourhoods over the lifespan. This book presents a life course framework for understanding how the changing dynamics of people’s lives (such as retirement and the forming and dissolving of partnerships) influence their residential experiences and challenges the common view that ageing 'in place' is optimal.
