Opis

Many European cities suffer from an acute shortage of good-quality affordable housing, but the problem has never been as prominent in policy discussions and political programs as it should be. This book aims to change that through detailed comparative accounts of various housing renewal policies and practices in nine European nations in their physical, economic, social, community, and cultural aspects.
