What are the major housing problems in contemporary Britain? How effective are the policies designed to tackle these problems? These are the central questions this book sets out to answer. In doing so, it adopts a critical approach to the processes involved in the identification of housing problems and the formation of policy. "Understanding housing policy" is an up-to-date text on a rapidly changing policy field written by an author with extensive experience in implementing housing policy.
