{"product_id":"housing-and-public-policy-stewart-lansley-9781041083160","title":"Housing and Public Policy","description":"\u003cp\u003eHousing in the UK and globally has long been an area of central and local government concern, and this reflects its vital importance for both individual and social welfare. Despite increased public expenditure on housing in the post-war years housing remains a major problem area of social and economic policy. While housing standards have risen on average, significant sections of the community continue to endure poor housing conditions and prospects. Originally published in 1979, this study considers the role of public policy in housing, presenting a critical and contemporary account of policies in the late 20th century. The central theme emphasises the importance of extensive local and central government involvement in meeting housing need and ensuring fairness in housing provision. It thus presents an opposing view to those who argue that market forces should have a free rein in shaping housing development.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stewart Lansley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1041083165\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781041083160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.63d","brand":"Stewart Lansley","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47423265636607,"sku":"9781041083160","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_150423fc-fded-4e71-90fd-4b5c416b1fdc.jpg?v=1761528447","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/housing-and-public-policy-stewart-lansley-9781041083160","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
