Housing Policy [PDF ebook] 
An Introduction

Now it its fourth edition, this textbook has been completely revised to examine the current state of housing policy in the UK. Exploring developments in housing policy made since Labour’s 1997 electoral victory, the book addresses current issues, including the ’brownfield versus greenfield’ debate, the phasing out of renovation grants, transfer of local authority housing to registered social landlords and ’boom, slump and boom’ in the owner-occupied sector.Other topics addressed range from regional policy and housing across the UK, to social exclusion, community care and homelessness.
