Recenzje

"Urgent trends-from the movement for racial justice to intensified economic inequality, back-breaking rents, climate risk, and a paradigm shift in health-have spotlighted housing and affordability in ways not seen since the 1960s. This superb compilation will help newcomers, as well as seasoned practitioners and scholars, navigate classic debates and think beyond them too."

-- Xavier de Souza Briggs, Senior Fellow, The Brookings Institution and co-author, Moving to Opportunity: The Story of an American Experiment to Fight Ghetto Poverty

"For this new edition of The Affordable Housing Reader, editors Mueller and Tighe have assembled a superb collection of timely and essential essays by many of the field's leading scholars. The volume frames several key debates in affordable housing policy, including its objectives and the forms it should take. "

-- Alex Schwartz, Housing Policy in the United States

"Affordable housing is a notoriously complex field. This new edition of The Affordable Housing Reader offers an updated look at some key questions, such as how we define affordability, and the roles of race and community control in the field. It should give a substantial grounding to those who want to understand, and improve, American housing policy."
