ABSTRACT

This book is a response to contemporary questions about the relationship between different systems of housing supply and the production outcomes which ensue. It is a study of three European countries: the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Germany, which will be compared and contrasted in terms of housing production policies, land policies and physical planning systems. The book attempts to show how differences in aspects of public policy and levels of private sector provision bring about changes in the volume and tenure of new housing production over time.
