We study the home and home life in all its dimensions

The Home Hub uses interdisciplinary approaches to better understand the home as an idea, a feeling and a material space that is lived in and that structures social interaction.

The home forms the smallest unit in the urban tapestry and is the place where people literally ‘come home to’. It determines much of their everyday lives. At the same time, houses and homes have become symbols of growing inequalities and social tensions, for example, through the competitive housing market, increasing segregation and gentrification, the redevelopment of historic homes into open-plan apartments for young professionals, and the traces of colonial heritage in the midst of modern cities.
