Full Description
First published in 1986. After years of government complacency about housing it is now becoming clear that there are growing shortages of suitable accommodation, especially in certain areas of high demand, and huge problems of disrepair in the existing stock of dwellings in almost all areas. This volume holds a number of papers around the housing crisis.
