Opis

This new, research-based, book on European second homes offers a comprehensive analysis of the second homes question, drawing on the latest research undertaken in England, Wales and mainland Europe. In this authoritative book, the problem of second homes is linked to broader questions of demography, socio-economic change, and housing in the countryside. The work will appeal to all those interested in the future of rural areas.

Recenzje

’This thought-provoking book catapults second homes into the mainstream of housing research. Recognizing that solutions to second home problems require policy measures extending beyond the housing and planning realms, the book avoids sentimentality, to challenge us to acknowledge the complexity of local housing markets, the varied roles of second homes within those markets, and the undesirability of failure to integrate social demand for second home ownership into progressive policies for the future.’ Keith Hoggart, King’s College London, UK ’...[offers] a thorough examination of second homes as an integrated part of the rural housing market...a valuable contribution to the second-home literature.’ European Journal of Housing Policy
