Review

From the reviews:

"This book provides, to my knowledge, the first large-scale, detailed comparative examination of the housing management strategies employed by social landlords in a relatively large number of European countries together with Australia. ... fills a key gap in the literature. ... the chapters are easy to follow and all aspects of asset management are examined in each national case study. This format means that the book will be very useful reference both for those engaged in teaching and those researching comparative housing issues." (Michelle Norris, European Journal of Housing Policy, Vol. 5 (3), December, 2005)

Synopsis

This book fills an important gap in housing research. While recent changes in housing policies and markets pose significant challenges for the development of asset management within the social rented sector, this topic has hardly been covered in international comparative research on housing. The book provides an overview of the state-of-the-art of asset management practice in the social rented sector in various countries. It contains some inspiring examples for practitioners and consultants. It enables housing managers and policymakers to place their approach in a wider perspective. Furthermore, it provides insight into the impact of national housing policy on the operations of social landlords, which can be used in support of housing policy.
