The housing crisis in the most attractive urban poles is often described as a growing mismatch between the number of inhabitants (competing with tourists and other more or less temporary city users) and housing availability, namely as an issue of housing shortage. The article critically investigates this phenomenon; by broadening the scale of analysis beyond the urban boundaries where it happens, it suggests to conceptualise the housing issue also as a relational problem among territories. Two perspectives are discussed to observe the urban housing crisis in the light of extra-urban territorial imbalances. The aim is to offer a useful starting point to rethink the scale and the instruments of public policies.

Keywords: housing crisis; spatial marginality; inequalities
