HOUSING

The Essential Foundations

Housing: The Essential Foundations provides a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary introduction to housing

studies. Introducing the many diverse aspects of housing within a single volume, this topical book is

essential reading for students embarking on degree and diploma courses in housing, surveying, town

planning and other related subjects. Professionals within these fields will also find the book valuable as a

source of up-to-date information and data.

Uniquely multi-disciplinary and including a wealth of illustrations and examples, Housing: The Essential

Foundations focuses on key topics which include:

• housing policy and finance prior to and after Thatcherism

• equal opportunities and housing organisations

• town planning and housing development

• housing design and development

• environmental health and housing

• property and housing law

• management, policy-making and politics

• future policy issues under the new Labour government after 1997

Housing, often the largest item of personal expenditure, is humankind’s most essential need after nourish-

ment. Examining ways to satisfy this need, whether through an adequate injection of public or private

investment or through mixed funding schemes, the authors stress the importance of housing market activity

that accords with good planning practice, legislation, democratic decision-making, economy and efficiency.

Paul Balchin is Reader in Urban Economics and Maureen Rhoden is Course Director and Senior Lecturer

in Housing Studies, both at the University of Greenwich.
