The Future of Public Housing

Public housing was once an important strand in western housing policies, but is seldom seen as a mainstream policy instrument for the future. In contrast, in many East Asian countries large public housing programs are underway. Behind these generalizations, there are exceptions, too. By including perspectives of scholars from across the world, this book provides new insights into public housing in its various forms. It contains in-depth chapters on public housing in five East Asian countries and six Western countries, together with three comparative overview chapters.

The most comprehensive and in-depth updates of public housing programs worldwide Will be of interest to both researchers and policymakers in their pursuit of better understanding and design of affordable housing policies and programs in the world Uses both a theoretic and a comparative approach in the discussion of public housing policies and issues in the East and the West Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
