Annotation: b /b b i Housing Policy in Europe /i /b provides a comprehensive introduction to the economic, political, and social issues of housing across the continent of Europe. Describing the policies and practices of fifteen different countries, author Paul Balchin groups these nations by type of housing stock such as private rental, social rental, or owner occupied. More than a policy survey, this book also examines housing investment and the trend towards rehabilitation, as well as different types of finance and subsidies. Recognizing that many of these nations are still in transition, Balchin examines this whole scenario against the complications and changes abounding in the post World War II world.

Publisher Description:

Housing Policy in Europe provides a comprehensive introduction to the economic, political and social issues of housing across the continent.
The changing policy and practice of housing in fifteen countries from across Northern, Western, Southern and Central Europe are described, analyzed and compared.
The book explains why different systems of tenure are dominant in different groups of countries, and the extent to which housing policies within these countries conform to different welfare systems.
It reveals how owner-occupation has taken over from social housing as the chosen system of tenure and how this reflects a political and economic shift, from social democracy or communism to neo-liberalism across Europe.
