About this title

Synopsis

This book compares the quality of housing in Britain and the United States. Unlike other comparative studies, this work focuses on the performance of the housing systems, first describing the differences and then explaining them. The authors include an analysis of the "housing policy agendas" of each country.

Review

"Even housing specialists are likely to benefit from reading this book....Highly readable and is recommended for any library collecting on the topic of housing policy."--Choice
