The UK Collaborative Centre for Housing Evidence aims to produce robust evidence on the current housing issues by focusing on seven themes, namely, (1) housing and the economy, (2) understanding the housing market, (3) multi-level governance, (4) housing aspirations, choices and outcomes, (5) housing and neighbourhoods design, sustainability and place-making, (6) housing, poverty, health, education and employment, and (7) homelessness. The theme of housing markets is broadly defined across housing supply, demand, need and different housing tenures. This literature mapping contributes to the theme by reviewing housing supply literature. This literature mapping aims to produce a focused review of housing supply literature by focusing on the UK and by covering an extensive sample of academic literature and a limited sample of grey literature published since 2005. The purpose of the review is to provide a base for forthcoming evidence reviews related to housing supply in the UK. This working paper first starts with summarizing the development of the research methodology called ‘literature mapping’ (see Serin (2018); Soaita (2017, 2018) for another application of this methodology). Second, the paper focusses on the literature mapping of housing supply literature. The results of this mapping are presented through an inductive typology of the subthemes that emerged during a review of abstracts, as a result of the exploratory nature of the literature mapping. Through this inductive categorization, the typology provides a valuable analysis tool as it is grounded in the review per se rather than implementing a top-down categorization.
