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)
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.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The idea to start an international investigation into asset management in the social rented sector was triggered by developments that we observed in our own country-the Netherlands. During the nineties, the Dutch government reduced its regulation as well as its nancial support of social landlords. F- thermore, the market share of social rented housing was under threat due to theboomingeconomyandagrowingpreferenceforowner-occupation. These developments lead to a widespread interest among Dutch social landlords in the adaptation of more professional, business-like approaches towards the management of their housing stock. Since similar developments had taken place in other countries as well, we felt it would be interesting to see if these developmentshadasimilarimpactonthesociallandlords,andifthereare- portunitiesforinternationalexchangeofexperiences. However,aliterature- view quickly revealed us that little had been published about this topic-most comparative housing research being focused on national housing policies and systems, often placed in the wider context of the analysis of welfare regimes. So we had two options. The rst was to conduct an investigation into the asset management in various countries ourselves. This would have meant a lot of nice travels, but also a lot of time, money and the risk of not being able to paint a reliable picture because of our unawareness of speci c characteristics of the social housing system, policy and landlords in other countries.
