This book is a timely assessment of 20 years of progress in the field of housing economics and its application to policy and practice. Two decades on from the publication of Duncan Maclennan's influential Housing Economics, 16 leading housing experts - both academics and policy makers from across the world - now honour Maclennan's contributions.

The chapters here present a contemporary survey of key issues in housing, from urban housing markets and sub-market modelling, to the economics of social housing, the basis for housing planning, economic analysis of neighbourhoods, and the connections between academic work and policy development.

For students, researchers and practitioners in housing, urban economics and social policy, Housing Economics and Public Policy:

. provides up to date and comprehensive reviews of major areas of the housing economics literature

. sheds light on the economic, social and spatial processes that affect housing

. includes discussion of major areas of cutting edge housing economics research and identifies continuing gaps

. presents a synthesis of housing economics research on both sides of the Atlantic

. assesses the impact of theory on policy and practice
