Opis

This is a major new textbook on UK housing policy covering contemporary issues, policies and management across the whole range of housing tenures set in a historical and comparative context. Designed as a replacement for Peter Malpass and Alan Murie's highly successful Housing Policy and Practice, it addresses the evolution of policy and practice with a central focus on five key themes: institutional and governance arrangements, economic and demographic change, the loss of identity of housing policy, the interlinked issues of inequality and standards and the interests served or involved in the processes and outcomes of housing policy.
