Book Description
From the early Victorian period to the 1970s, the question of slums occupied an important place in British politics and in housing and town planning policies.

It reaches its climax in the plans for large-scale redevelopment made during World War II.
The Sociology of Housing
Author: Brian J. McCabePublisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226828530
Category : Discrimination in housing
Languages : en
Pages : 428
Book Description
A landmark volume about the importance of housing in social life. In 1947, the president of the American Sociological Association argued for the importance of housing as a field of sociological research. Yet seventy-five years later, the sociology of housing has not developed as a distinct field, leaving efforts to understand housing's place in society to other disciplines, such as economics and urban planning. This volume intends to change that, solidifying the place of housing studies as a distinct subfield within the discipline of sociology, showing that housing is both an important element of sociology and a significant component of social life that deserves dedicated attention as a distinct area of research. To do so, the book takes stock of the current field of scholarship and provides new directions for study. The contributors showcase the very best traditions of sociology--they draw on diverse methodological approaches, present unique field sites and data sources, and foreground sociological theory to understand contemporary housing issues. The Sociology of Housing will be a landmark volume, used by researchers and students alike as an introduction to this crucial field and a map of its future potential.
