| Summary: | Public housing was once an important strand in western housing policies, but is seldom seen as a mainstream policy instrument for the future. In contrast, in many East Asian countries large public housing programs are underway. Behind these generalizations, there are exceptions, too.

It contains in-depth chapters on public housing in five East Asian countries and six Western countries, together with three comparative overview chapters. |
