"The third edition of this bestselling textbook has been completely revised to address the range of socio-economic factors that have influenced UK housing policy in the years since the previous edition was published.

The changing policy and practice of housing in fifteen countries from across Northern, Western, Southern and Central Europe are described, analyzed and compared.

An overview of Egypt's housing & demographic problems, & critique of the government's efforts to establish "New Towns" in response to them. Population trends are traced from the late 1800s using official statistics, describing effects on limited habitable & cultivatable areas as well as on housing density & the housing market. The development of several New Towns is described, demonstrating how despite the government's heavy investment in them, they have not adequately met the municipal, social, & cultural service needs of their inhabitants. Possible reasons for this failure are outlined, & upcoming projects & plans described. 6 Tables. C. Grindle
