Rowan Arundel is Assistant Professor at the University of Amsterdam, based in the Department of Geography, Planning and International Development. His research focuses on dynamics of housing inequalities and interactions between housing, labour and welfare regime, as well as a broader interest in spatial analysis and macro and micro quantitative methods. He has published widely on both the Netherlands and on comparative housing research across European contexts. He is the recipient of an ongoing Veni fellowship for his project ‘WEALTHSCAPES: the spatial inequality of housing wealth accumulation’ looking at the role of both housing market spatial polarization and divided housing access in driving wealth inequalities.
