Opis

Remaking Housing Policy is the first introductory housing policy textbook to be designed for use by students all around the world. Starting from first principles, readers are guided through the objectives behind government housing policy interventions, the tools and mechanisms deployed and the outcomes of the policy decisions. A range of international case studies from Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas illustrate the book’s general principles and demonstrate how different regimes influence policy differently. This innovative international textbook will be suitable for housing students and those on related courses across geography, planning, property and urban studies.
