This book is a comprehensive and indepth history of British council
housing. For political and institutional reasons it operated as a
law unto itself for most of its history, but is now undergoing
major change and re-integration into mainstream housing and
society. The bulk of research and literature on the subject has
been from social policy and politics perpectives, and an overall
history has not been attempted, other than as chapters or sections
of chapters in more general books. This has resulted in a number of
important omissions - notably the relation of design and management
to the quality and performance of public housing, and the role and
influence of users (tenants and their families) both in provision,
quality and performance. This book should remedy these gaps and
make clear the importance of council housing to 20th-century life
and culture, both at a personal and a societal level. A major
thread running through the book is the interaction of council
housing with evolving working-class patterns and aspirations.
