This paper gives a definition of urban owner-occupier housing sub-market structure. A dynamic stock flow approach is applied to this structure to understand its short-term equilibrium properties and long-term dynamic process. The paper concludes by investigating the connections between urban owner-occupier housing sub-market operation and some wider urban issues, with further reflections on new research directions which can provide a deeper insight into the urban system.
