Reviews

'This well written and long overdue book looks set to become a standard text in British housing studies. The contributors are clearly in touch with students' needs. Well produced and packed with statistics, charts, tables and photographs, it fills a conspicuous gap in the market...Presenting many diverse aspects of housing within a single volume, this book is likely to become a must for housing students.'- Roof Magazine
