Opis

This volume examines the large-scale social housing programs begun in Eastern and Central Europe after 2000 as an attempt to mitigate the inequality and declining standards of living that took hold in the region after the wave of privatizations that accompanied the political turn of the 1990s.

Recenzje

"a very readable account of social housing reforms in 12 countries in transition that will appeal to a wide audience... it provide[s] a detailed and informative overview of country-specific housing reforms and will be of interest to policy-makers and non-government institutions engaged in the policy dialogue in the region. Housing policy, urban studies and social geography scholars and students, to name just a few, could use the book as a supplementary reading in courses on post-socialist transformation. The contributions in this volume retrace an important aspect of housing policy reforms in the context of transition essential for the future of social housing in wider Europe." – International Journal of Housing Policy
