“…For example, Kemeny's (1995) division between unified and dual rental sector is based on developments in the longstanding industrialized democracies the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand as dual rental systems while Sweden, Germany, Switzerland and the Netherlands are held to belong the unified rental system. In later work, Kemeny also included Belgium, Finland, Iceland, Italy and Norway as belonging to the dual rental system (Kemeny, 2006;Kemeny, Kersloot & Thalmann, 2005).…”

“…Today, it contributes with around half of all rental apartments and 17% of the total housing stock in Sweden. The Swedish rental market could be argued to be the role model for the integrated rental market (Kemeny 2006), where, in principle, public housing caters to the same households as private operators on the rental market (Bengtsson 2001), instead of only the poorest households as is typical in dualistic rental markets.…”

By its universal approach, Swedish public housing has traditionally been an instrument to contribute to the national policy aim of "good housing for all". However, the universal approach is under pressure. Demands on competitiveness and a businesslike return on investment means public housing companies are increasingly striving for profit in their everyday business. This paper analyses this development with the strategic-relational approach (SRA) and argues that a new economic imaginary has emerged, which limits the companies' perceived possibilities to retain the universal approach. However, spatio-temporal variations are evident and the findings give evidence to ample actorial discretion for companies to negotiate the economic imaginary in the current political-economic landscape. Thus, the potential to retain the undertaking of "good housing for all" still exists, but it is unevenly actualized. How this discretion is used may be decisive for the future of the universal character of public housing in Sweden.ARTICLE HISTORY
