Calculation of habitable dwelling surfaces : an empirical analysis for the agglomerations of Munich and Sydney

In many countries the calculation of habitable dwelling surface is characterised by a chaotic variety of calculation variants hardly comprehensible for the end user - sometimes not even reproducible for the expert. Therefore dossiers were analysed on the basis of a random choice in order to determine the method according to which the habitable dwelling surface was measured and to find out wether customers can scrutinize the calculations. The paper compares Sydney and Munich, where in both cases property prices are situated at the high end of the market

From donor letter: This is a photograph of the main synagogue of Munich, Germany. It was razed, stone by stone, in 1937 to establish a parking lot. I attended this synagogue as a child, with my parents and younger brother, until it was destroyed. Signed Melly (Engelberg) Resnicow.
