Housing and Social Policy

<p>This topical book transforms the analysis of housing problems into a lively interesting and contentious subject of social scientific study addressing themes of residential experience inclusion/empowerment sustainability and professionalism/managerialism which lie at the heart of the housing and social policy debate. Each chapter considers a specific social category - such as class gender or disability - and evaluates the experience and understanding of housing and social policy under this category. </p><p>With innovative approaches to conceptualising housing and a clear defined structure <em>Housing and Social Policy</em> encourages students and practitioners in both arenas to think reflexively about housing as a central instrument of social policy and social experience.</p>
