The concept of the “best interests of the child” is well-established in law, family counseling, therapy, and socio-political discourse. However, research exploring the influence of children’s living environments on their subjective well-being has long been overlooked. In recent years, the interdisciplinary study of children’s experiences has gained momentum, yet the role of housing as a potential factor remains largely underexplored. To address this gap, a team of sociologists, psychologists, architects, and legal scholars from the Universities of Lausanne and Neuchâtel, along with ETH Zurich, has undertaken a comprehensive study. Supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation, this project (2023–2027) aims to deepen our understanding of how living conditions shape children’s well-being, contributing valuable insights to both academic research and practical applications.
