Abstract
Housing Stock and Its Public Dimension in the Role of Infrastructure of Durable
Development. Only the reciprocal composition and location of buildings and their inhabitants
in relation to the location of settlement infrastructure and other spatial development
components can give housing stock a public dimension. The importance of the public impact of
the housing stock on civilization development results mainly from the multifaceted role of the
standards of its settlement in the shaping of inhabited space. Appreciating this impact can help
build a necessary community of people living in common social and settlement structures. The
importance of housing policy in balancing the development of living space is highlighted by
the current structural crisis of the capitalist economy. The underestimated field of overcoming
this crisis is the public dimension of housing stock. The presented reasoning subordinated to
such thinking is part of a wider narrative combining architectural, urban, planning and sociological
issues.
