| Summary |
Many European cities have a shortage of quality, affordable housing, but this problem has become less prominent in policy than it should be. This book aims to redress that balance. Contributors from nine European countries provide contemporary comparative accounts of housing renewal in its physical, economic, social, community and cultural aspects. Shared concerns over energy conservation, social protection and inclusion, and the roles and responsibilities of the public and private sectors form the basis of a proposed policy agenda for housing renewal across Europe. |
