      abstract = {The world has still to emerge fully from the  housing-triggered Global Financial Crisis, but housing  crises are not new. The history of housing shows long-run  social progress, littered with major disasters;  nevertheless the progress is often forgotten, whilst the  difficulties hit the headlines. Housing Economics provides  a long-term economic perspective on macro and urban housing  issues, from the Victorian era onwards. A historical  perspective sheds light on modern problems and the  constraints on what can be achieved; it concentrates on the  key policy issues of housing supply, affordability, tenure,  the distribution of migrant communities, mortgage markets  and household mobility. Local case studies are interwoven  with city-wide aggregate analysis. Three sets of issues are  addressed: the underlying reasons for the initial  establishment of residential neighbourhoods, the processes  that generate growth, decline and patterns of  integration/segregation, and the impact of historical  development on current problems and the implications for  policy.},
