Housing Economics : A Historical Approach Hardback
by Geoffrey Meen, Kenneth Gibb, Chris Leishman, Christian Nygaard
Hardback
Description
The world has still to emerge fully from the housing-triggered Global Financial Crisis, but housing crises are not new.
The history of housing shows long-run social progress, littered with major disasters; nevertheless the progress is often forgotten, whilst the difficulties hit the headlines.
Housing Economics provides a long-term economic perspective on macro and urban housing issues, from the Victorian era onwards.
A historical perspective sheds light on modern problems and the constraints on what can be achieved; it concentrates on the key policy issues of housing supply, affordability, tenure, the distribution of migrant communities, mortgage markets and household mobility.
Local case studies are interwoven with city-wide aggregate analysis.
Three sets of issues are addressed: the underlying reasons for the initial establishment of residential neighbourhoods, the processes that generate growth, decline and patterns of integration/segregation, and the impact of historical development on current problems and the implications for policy.
