Description - Housing Policy in the United States by Paul Balchin

Housing Policy: An Introduction , has been completely revised for its fourth edition. Its account of housing policy in the UK now gives particular emphasis to the development of policy since Labour's electoral victory in 1997. After examining policy under Thatcher and Major administrations, this new edition shows that there has been a gradual evolution in housing policy, rather than any radical change to the ways in which the different housing sectors are promoted. In this edition housing policy issues introduced include: *the 'brownfield versus greenfield debate' in respect of housing provision *the phasing out of renovation grants *the continuing shift of emphasis from supply-side to demand-side subsidies *the transfer of local authority housing to registered social landlords *the partial revival of private and rented housing *boom, slump and boom in the owner-occupied sector *many other issues ranging form regional policy and housing across the UK to social exclusion, community care and homelessness, as well as the topics covered in previous editions.
Housing Policy; An Introduction provides an accessible introduction by describing policies and explaining their effects as well as analysing recent changes and their implications, using practical examples. It is ideal for the student tackling housing policy at all levels, but also as a background to current housing policy for researchers and professional practitioners. It provides a strong foundation in housing policy for students taking qualifications in housing, urban studies, social policy and social administration.
