Reviews

'This reissue of Cities, Housing and Profits makes available Hamnett and Randolph's pathbreaking study of the transformation of London's housing stock from places of habitation to a tradeable asset and the consequences for the development of the city. It remains a significant contribution to our understanding of the financialization of property markets and its effects. ' Susan F. Fainstein, Senior Research Fellow, Harvard Graduate School of Design
