Recenzii

“This new account of the challenges presented by an aging housing stock and policy responses across Europe fills a significant gap. It is essential reading for those concerned with the future of housing.”

“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.”

“Because of an aging population and housing stock, housing renewal remains an important challenge in European housing policy. Renewing Europe’s Housing elaborates the way housing renewal is understood and has developed during the last decennia in nine widespread European counties. A valuable asset for housing researchers.”

Renewing Europe’s Housing . . . reopens a crucial debate on housing policies and practices in the face of a new housing crisis that characterizes many European countries in different ways.”

“This text is invaluable to anyone interested in European housing or housing renewal generally.”

“A broad comparative inventory of valuable data, insights and approaches, and state-of-the-art analysis of housing renewal in Europe. . .an indispensable handbook for professionals and students.”
