HOUSING SPACE VALUATION AGAINST THE BACKGROUND OF POST-SECOND-WORLD-WAR ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL PROCESSES

In the period of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and, most importantly, of threat to world peace, humanitarian and rational multi-family housing could contribute to stabilizing the economic and social situation. This appears particularly essential in a situation of the fast-approaching land shortage for housing in cities. In this paper, the author discusses the size of usable apartment space and the quality of functional and spatial layouts understood in terms of their physical reach. The economic aspect associated with the amount of construction material used was noted. The above could contribute to the discussion on the future development trajectory of multi-family housing.
