Reviews / Votes
'This is an excellent contribution to the knowledge of housing in Europe and its likely evolution in the near future. It has many strengths and will be an important source for researchers interested in comparative housing studies. And I do think that the 15 chapters are a great contribution in answering the two main research questions considered by the editors. It is a book to be recommended to both academics and practitioners concerned with housing policy and practice in Europe.' - Tesq Vol 91, 2000'Valuable not only as a 'book about Europe', but as an aid to placing national examples into a wider cross-national and EU-wide setting.' - Housing Studies
