Abstract The housing options of older people now extend far beyond the traditional choice between staying put and making do, or moving to specialist housing or residential care. A flexible suite of options has emerged, centred on promoting independence and well-being. Valuable insights have been provided into the development, delivery, costs and benefits of these options. Light has also been cast on the experiences and preferences of older people. However, little is known about who gets what housing, where and why. This reflects a tendency within analysis to consider these different housing options in isolation. This study responds by situating the housing options of older people within wider debates about the reimagining of the housing system driven by the neoliberal transformation in housing politics. Taking a case study approach, it explores the gap between the ambitions of policy and realities of provision at the local level, relates this to the particular intersection of state practices and market mechanisms manifest within the case study and, in doing so, rises to the challenge of extending analysis of the impacts of the neoliberal approach on the right to housing to new groups and different settings.

重新构想的住房系统中老年人的住房选择：来自英格兰的案例研究

摘要 现在，老年人的住房选择远远超出了留在原地和凑合着做的传统选择，或者搬到专业住房或寄宿护理。出现了一套灵活的选择，以促进独立和福祉为中心。对这些选项的开发、交付、成本和收益提供了宝贵的见解。老年人的经历和偏好也受到关注。然而，对于谁得到什么住房、在哪里以及为什么得到，却知之甚少。这反映了分析中的一种趋势，即孤立地考虑这些不同的住房选择。这项研究的回应是将老年人的住房选择置于关于住房政治新自由主义转型驱动的住房系统重新构想的更广泛辩论中。采取案例研究的方法，
