Industry Reviews
"A thorough, practical and thoughtful overview of the complexities that characterise housing and residence
patterns."
Planning in London
"Drawing on a rich array of experiences and scholarship, the writers offer numerous useful insights into
policy topics, trends and implications."
Housing Studies
"The book is a useful document for academics and practitioners who are involved in urban regeneration,
segretation, and community development."
European Journal of Housing Policy
"The conclusions are well written by the editor. They accurately describe and compare the value of the
different contributions in the book. This edited volume contributes enormously to our understanding of the
policy responses and the involvement of various parties in this process. For urban scholars and students the
book provides a wealth of good empirical material to think about and discuss with each other. Hopefully the key
issues for research that conclude the book will lead to more and much-needed research in this field."
Journal of Housing and the Built Environment
"This is an exciting and important book. It contains a wealth of material on topics that include community
renewal, ethnic relations, participation, conflict, and urban change. It successfully bridges the transatlantic
divide, offering a wide array of valuable insights for researchers, policy-makers and students. The collection
is particularly successful in combining broader conceptual and analytical work with detailed material on policy
issues and experiences."
Malcolm Harrison, Professor of Housing and Social Policy, University of
Leeds
