The Routledge Handbook of Housing Policy And Planning

Abstract

The I Routledge Handbook of Housing Policy and Planning i addresses contemporary matters of how housing has been thought of, and how policy and planning have been implemented in different parts of the world. Mark Calabria and Vanessa Brown Calder, authors of Chapter 8, provide a good summary of homeownership stages in the US as well as a well-structured analysis of macroeconomic and political factors influencing homeownership. This chapter provides a very well-structured narrative related to housing in equality and discrimination, as well as an interesting argument on how housing policies shape wealth inequality.
