Reviews

‘Merrett has written the best book on British council housing this reviewer has ever encountered. So good is it…it should serve as a model for the study of other housing economies.’ Roger Montgomery, Journal of the American Planning Association ‘…An outstanding original contribution to the analysis of the British housing system…the coherence derived from the author’s clarity of exposition of complex and detailed arguments make it also an invaluable basic text for courses which consider the housing system. ‘ Martin Boddy, Environmental and Planning ‘A sustained…critical analysis of a pioneering nature.’ Peter Dickens, International Journal of Urban and Regional Research.
