Introduction to Housing (2nd Edition)
A comprehensive approach to understanding housing in the United States and abroad
This foundational text for understanding housing, housing design, homeownership, housing policy, special topics in housing, and housing in a global context has been comprehensively revised to reflect the housing situation in the United States during and after the Great Recession and its subsequent movements toward recovery. The book focuses on the complexities of housing and housing-related issues, engendering an understanding of housing, its relationship to national economic factors, and housing policies. It comprises individual chapters written by housing experts who have specialization within the discipline or field, offering content that provides commentary on the physical, social, psychological, economic, and policy issues that affect the current housing landscape in the United States and abroad, while offering solutions to its challenges.
