Many European cities have a shortage of good quality, affordable housing, but this problem has become less prominent in policy than it should be. This timely book aims to redress that balance. After an introductory chapter, expert contributors provide contemporary comparative accounts of housing renewal policy and practice in nine European countries in its physical, economic, social, community and cultural aspects. Shared concerns over energy conservation, social protection and inclusion, and the roles and responsibilities of the public and private sectors form the basis of a proposed policy agenda for housing renewal across Europe. The concluding chapters draw conclusions from a pan-European perspective and consider the future prospects for renewing older housing.

Academics, practitioners, policy-makers and students of housing, urban studies, planning, regeneration, environmental health and sustainability will all want to read this book.

Industry Reviews

"This new account of the challenges presented by an ageing housing stock and policy responses across Europe fills a significant gap. It is essential reading for those concerned with the future of housing." Alan Murie, Emeritus Professor of Urban and Regional Studies, University of Birmingham. "An excellent overview of housing renewal policies across nine European countries, offering a deeper understanding of the barriers to the implementation of more effective and integrated urban renewal policies in different cultures." Martin Lux, Institute of Sociology, Academy of Sciences of Czech Republic. "Because of an aging population and housing stock, housing renewal remains a important challenge in European Housing Policy. Renewing Europe's Housing elaborates the way housing renewal is understood and developed during the last decennia in nine wide spread European countries. A valuable asset for housing researchers." Prof.Dr. Peter Boelhouwer, Delft University of Technology.
