Description
This foundational text for understanding housing, housing design, homeownership, housing policy, special topics in housing, and housing in a global context has been comprehensively revised to reflect the changed housing situation in the United States during and after the Great Recession and its subsequent movements toward recovery. The book focuses on the complexities of housing and housing-related issues, engendering an understanding of housing, its relationship to national economic factors, and housing policies. It comprises individual chapters written by housing experts who have specialization within the discipline or field, offering commentary on the physical, social, psychological, economic, and policy issues that affect the current housing landscape in the United States and abroad, while proposing solutions to its challenges.
Reviews / Votes
The breadth of the second edition of the book is commendable. Although the book will no doubtmeet the needs of faculty and students as a textbook in a variety of university housing-related courses, it will also be useful as a resource for housing researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and even housing consumers. -- Carla Earhart * Family and Consumer Sciences Research Journal * Introduction to Housing presents a clear, comprehensive, and accessible review of a broad range of housing topics. As an expansive and interdisciplinary collection of short essays, it is not the type of book that anybody will read from beginning to end. Rather, it is the type of book that everybody will continually turn to for that one chapter that provides the perfect, succinct overview of an issue. It is also the type of book in which everyone will find at least one chapter that teaches them something new-I certainly did ... I suspect that this reference book will become a favorite for not only planners but also for academics and practitioners in other fields as well. -- Carolina Reid * Association of Collegiate Schools of Planning *
