All countries aim to improve housing conditions for theircitizens but many have been forced by the financial crisis toreduce government expenditure. Social housing is at the cruxof this tension. Policy-makers, practitioners and academicswant to know how other systems work and are looking for somethingwritten in clear English, where there is a depth of understandingof the literature in other languages and direct contributions fromcountry experts across the continent.
Social Housing in Europe combines a comparative overviewof European social housing written by scholars with in-depthchapters written by international housing experts. The countriescovered include Austria, Denmark, England, France, Germany,Hungary, Ireland, The Netherlands and Sweden, with a furtherchapter devoted to CEE countries other than Hungary.
The book provides an up-to-date international comparison ofsocial housing policy and practice. It offers an analysis ofhow the social housing system currently works in each country,supported by relevant statistics. It identifies Europeantrends in the sector, and opportunities for innovation andimprovement.
These country-specific chapters are accompanied by topicalthematic chapters dealing with subjects such as the role of socialhousing in urban regeneration, the privatisation of social housing,financing models, and the impact of European Union state aidregulations on the definitions and financing of social housing.
