Housing and Social Policy : Contemporary Themes and Critical Perspectives

This book looks at the changing nature of housing policy in the UK and how it relates to the economy and society generally.

Contributors to the book consider the effects of market forces and state action on low-income households, different social classes, women, minority ethnic groups, and disabled people.

It is argued that housing is a key focus for economic development, for social justice, for everyday lived experience, for class struggle, for gender and racial divisions, for organising the life course, and for physical and social regeneration.
