Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This book offers a balanced analysis of competing interpretations of the role and social value of social housing in the UK. Exploring the place of social housing in the modern welfare state, it provides new thinking on the relationship between housing and wellbeing, and issues a challenge to the pervasive policy and social consensus that owner-occupation is the 'natural' choice of aspiring people. It argues against the idea that social housing is somehow 'bad' for you, or that it causes poverty or dependency and proposes a more radical approach to social housing policy in the future.
