Reviews

In context of the longstanding housing crisis and continued political failure to address it, Gregory's book provides an excellent reappraisal of the meaning and purpose of housing, but also more social solutions. Richard Ronald, University of Amsterdam This refreshing and original contribution to the housing literature introduces new data and perspectives about wellbeing that challenge and broaden established debates. Alan Murie, University of Birmingham


"""Given the breadth and quality of the book's content, it should be a cornerstone of housing studies, sociology and social policy course reading lists. Anyone with an interest in the role of housing in supporting human flourishing and wellbeing would benefit from reading this book."" International Journal of Housing Policy"
