Understanding Housing Policy by Brian Lund
Focusing on principles and theory and their application in the process of constructing housing policy, with boxed examples and case studies throughout, this fully revised 3rd edition addresses the range of socio-economic factors that have influenced UK housing policy in recent years. These include the austerity agenda, the Coalition government’s housing policies, the 2015 Conservative government’s policy direction, the evolving devolution agenda and housing supply.
