Reviews

This book is a strong addition to comparative housing research. ... A particular strength of this book is it is not only concerned with how the housing systems in East Asia have contributed to the 'success' of the region but also documents 'how they are adapting to new, more challenging conditions and are likely to fare in the future' ... . It thus provides important updates to burgeoning studies of housing sectors in East Asia. (Jie Chen, Journal of Housing and the Built Environment, Vol. 31, 2016)
