An analysis of the whole issue of home ownership in Britain, an issue that has become prominent in the past 30 years, not least in the boom and slump conditions of the late 1980s and early 1990s and in terms of the impact of an ageing population.

This study presents recent findings on home-ownership in the 1990s. It examines economic and social issues central to the housing market and provides an analysis of "winners" and "losers": those who gained financially and those who became victims of negative equity. Covering the postwar period the authors trace developments in the housing market in relation to class, race, gender and income with special reference to the growth and evolution of home-ownership since the Second World War; the sale of council houses; the role of government in encouraging home- ownership; and changes in bank and building society lending in the 1970s and 1980s and the consequences. This accessible volume should appeal to undergraduates of urban planning, human geography, social policy and applied economics but should also be of interest and value to policy makers.

Chris Hammett is Professor of Human Geography at King's College London. Prior to that he was Professor of Urban Geography at the Open University.
