Bricking It

With ever-decreasing affordability and availability of homes, the UK faces a longstanding and complex housing crisis.

Rather than laying the blame on a particular group or cause, Bricking It explains the root causes of our current housing situation and proposes useful ways forward. The author uses his experience of delivering housing policy in Greater Manchester to analyse the interlocking issues of demographic and social policy change, the financial and planning systems, the construction industry, and the UK's recent change of government.

Key reading for housing researchers and policy makers, this book analyses recent reform plans and the feasibility of achieving an effective and accessible UK housing landscape.
