Ball, M. (2016) Housing provision in 21st century Europe. Habitat International, 54 (3). pp. 182-188. ISSN 0197-3975 doi: 10.1016/j.habitatint.2015.11.024

Abstract/Summary

European housing markets exhibited considerable volatility so far in the 21st century while affordability worsened for many. Boom-bust has had greater housing impacts than any specific housing policy, which illustrates the difficulty in policy terms of seeing housing in isolation and the central significance of interlinked relationships between housing, the economy and financial markets. Europe historically invented a powerful set of interventionist tools to alter housing circumstances but, as the overview of rental markets here indicates, today they have mixed success. Examples of what to avoid in policy are at least as common as exemplars.
