Housing Policy in the UK is a major new textbook that traces the emergence of a 'new comprehensive housing policy' in the wake of the Communities Plan and regionalisation. Grounded in cutting-edge research and analysis, it provides a clear account of the evolution and current dimensions and tensions at the heart of this policy.

Housing Policy and Practice is established as the leading text for students and practitioners of housing policy and administration. The fourth edition has been thoroughly revised, reorganised and updated to provide a comprehensive guide to policy and practice under the Major administration. Contemporary developments are set in a historical context which identifies the continuities as well as the changes in policy.
