The Politics and Policy of Housing

Housing is among the most intractable problems of contemporary politics. It is a cauldron for class, regional, and generational inequality, a subject of conflict and negotiation between the public and private, local and national, and the focus of a contentious reform agenda of the new UK government. This dedicated collection features contributors from geography, economics and politics, and from universities, think tanks, and independent academics. They debate the roots of the housing crisis, dissect the government's focus on planning and new builds, and illuminate the resultant policy dilemmas in the UK and elsewhere.
