This book offers an accessible and in-depth account of housing provision and policy in the UK. The chapters describe each of the major housing tenures and how they have changed, emphasising the uneven development and implementation of housing policy over time and place. In doing so, the book builds on and adds to debates that are prominent in geography and social science disciplines and provides new perspectives on the origins and nature of owner occupation, housing in the welfare state, housing subsidies and on continuities and turning points in housing policy.

Analysing changes in housing policy and provision from the nineteenth century to the present day, providing key statistics and discussing contemporary policy questions, this book contributes to key housing debates including decommodification, centralization, privatization, neo-liberalism, gentrification and residualisation. It is a benchmark and an invaluable reference for students, academics, practitioners, and others interested in UK housing.
