This book is a timely assessment of 20 years of progress in the
field of housing economics and its application to policy and
practice. Two decades on from the publication of Duncan Maclennan’s
influential Housing Economics, 16 leading housing experts –
both academics and policy makers from across the world – now honour
Maclennan’s contributions.
The chapters here present a contemporary survey of key issues in
housing, from urban housing markets and sub-market modelling, to
the economics of social housing, the basis for housing planning,
economic analysis of neighbourhoods, and the connections between
academic work and policy development.
For students, researchers and practitioners in housing, urban
economics and social policy, Housing Economics and Public
Policy:
. provides up to date and comprehensive reviews of major areas
of the housing economics literature
. sheds light on the economic, social and spatial processes that
affect housing
. includes discussion of major areas of cutting edge housing
economics research and identifies continuing gaps

sides of the Atlantic
