The study evaluates developments in housing law and related housing policy in the context of economic, political and social changes within capitalism. A central theme is to provide a comprehensive outline of the evolution of social rented housing through the lens of housing law. Developments in private sector housing are also examined to demonstrate how tenure forms shift in line with economic and political requirements. As well as assessing developments across the United Kingdom, specific sections focus on Scottish housing. One innovative section is the assessment of specific housing association activities in the 1980s. The study concludes with two alternative ways of addressing contemporary housing problems. A systemic and inter-disciplinary perspective is provided to understand the nature of developments in housing law and related policy. The study draws on specific philosophical and theoretical perspectives and elucidates that housing law is essentially reformist in nature. People likely to find this book of interest are: academics; historians; housing professionals; policy makers; social scientists; solicitors; students; and members of the public.
