“Urban Planning and the Housing Market draws extensively upon research funded over recent years … so it is pleasing to see the investment coming to fruition in this volume. The extra effort that has gone into the tabular presentation of inter-country differences in strategic approach, policy development, planning instruments, and housing outcomes is to be applauded. As a teaching resource and handbook for practitioners, this text will admirably fill a long standing gap in planning education.” (Blair Badcock, Urban Policy and Research, February, 2018)
