‘This superb volume adroitly showcases the work of leading scholars across the closely intertwined themes of housing, home and society. Its quality and range—capturing the evolution of thinking within housing studies, developments within social theory, policy and practice interventions, and the intersection of housing with the economy and with politics—makes it essential reading for students, researchers, policy makers and practitioners concerned with some of the most pressing social challenges of our time.’
