Description
Understanding Housing Policy by Brian Lund is a comprehensive textbook that explores the complexities of UK housing policy. The third edition has been revised to address the significant socio-economic factors that have shaped housing policy in recent years, including the austerity agenda, devolution, and the focus on housing supply. The book examines the theoretical approaches to understanding housing policy, including laissez-faire economics, social reformism, Marxist political economy, and behavioural perspectives. Substantive themes are illustrated through boxed examples and case studies, providing a detailed analysis of the principles and theory behind housing policy construction. This textbook is a vital resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students of housing and planning, as well as those studying related social policy modules.
