This is Volume X of twenty-one in a series on Race, Class and Social Structure. Originally published in 1955, this study includes a number of essays on the topic the sociology of housing which is complicated because it is inextricably entangled with the 'housing problem'. The complex of interrelated matters with which this branch of sociology is concerned includes institutional behaviour, the family social status, property, religion, the law and the state and their relation to architecture, and engineering, sanitary engineering, town planning, public health, medicine and social administration.
