Abstract
The focus of this book has been on analysing and interpreting people’s housing decisions. In this final chapter we attempt to locate the themes that emerged in their wider worlds. Thus we look first at the implications of what we have written for theorizing in different areas, in particular decision-making, ageing and research methods. Finally we examine the relationship between our conclusions and policy and practice, especially in relationship to housing but also more widely with reference to the involvement of older people as citizens.
