Housing problem - housing problem English

Japanese: 住宅問題 - じゅうたくもんだい（英語表記）housing problem 英語

Housing is the foundation of human survival and life; it protects the safety, health, and dignity of human beings, nurtures citizens as a vessel for family life, and is the most basic human environment that creates towns and culture; it is the fundamental unit of society. Because housing is a component of cities, the accumulation of low-quality housing leads to the formation of slum cities. Housing is rooted in the local climate and lifestyle, and creates a lifestyle and culture, and people's stable residences form communities that support their livelihoods and contribute to the formation of the foundations for democracy. Although each individual home may be private and small, the whole is a social asset and has a major impact on society.

Japanese:

住居は人間の生存と生活の基盤であり，生命の安全と健康と人間の尊厳を守り，家庭生活の器として市民をはぐくみ，まちと文化をつくる最も基本的な人間環境であり，社会の基礎単位である。住居は都市の構成要素であるから，低質住宅の集積は不良都市形成の原因となる。住居は風土と生活に根ざして生活文化をつくり，人々の安定した居住はコミュニティを形成して暮しを支え，民主主義の土壌形成に寄与する。個々の住居は私的で小さな存在であっても，その全体は社会的資産であり，社会に対して大きな影響をもつ。
