Property, Planning and Protest: The Contentious Politics of Housing Supply, Paperback / softback Book

Property, Planning and Protest: The Contentious Politics of Housing Supply Paperback / softback

Part of the Explorations in Housing Studies series

Paperback / softback

Description

The struggle for the right to housing is a battle over property rights and land use. For housing to be provided as a human need, land must be recognised as a common right. Property, Planning and Protest is a compelling new investigation into public opposition to housing and real estate development.

Its innovative materialist approach is grounded in the political economy of land value, and it recognises the conflict between communities and real estate capital as a struggle over land and property rights.

Property, Planning and Protest is about a social movement struggling for democratic representation in land-use decisions.

The amenity groups it describes champion a democratic plan-led system that allocates land for social and environmental goals.

Situating this movement in a history of land reform and common rights, this book sets out a persuasive new vision of democratic planning and affordable housing for all.
