Housing market deregulation has been a core feature and policy driver of global neoliberalization in the last two decades. Urban housing markets in particular, have become the focus of capital accumulation reinforcing market orientated interventions by local and national governments. While de-regulation and privatization have been at the centre of analyses, governments have become particularly active in reregulating finance, supply and consumption with the objective of structural transformations in urban housing sectors. This paper examines these complementary processes in three very diverse world city contexts (New York, Amsterdam and Tokyo) with an emphasis on the role of context -historic geographic, socioeconomic and political - in understanding variegated outcomes in the housing sector. Another concern is the restructuring of market conditions and the effects on different categories of household. Although these three cities constitute key nodes of global neoliberalization, housing systems and policy pathways have played defining roles in mediating market transformations
