The housing debate

The housing debate by Stuart Lowe

The emergence of Britain as a fully fledged home-owning society at the end of the 20th century has major implications for how houses are used not just as a home but as an asset. The key debate in this important and timely book is whether social policy and people's homes should be so closely connected, especially when housing markets are so volatile. It will be essential reading for all students and practitioners of housing and those concerned with how social and public policy is being shaped in the 21st century.

'Stuart Lowe's The Housing Debate takes a refreshingly broad view of housing and welfareRather than a balanced introduction for students to current debates around housing and social policy, Lowe has a clear case to make.' - Jake Eliot in Citizen's Income Newsletter
