Originally published in 1993, this book traces how governments in
France, Germany, Britain, Denmark and Ireland became involved in
replacing industrial revolution urban slums with mass high-rise,
high-density concrete estates. As the book considers each country's
housing history and traditions, and analyses the contrasting
structures and systems, it finds convergence of problems in the
growing tensions of their most disadvantaged communities. The book
underlines the continuing drift towards deeper polarization, an
issue which has become ever more important in the multi-lingual,
ethnically diverse urban societies of the 21st Century. The book's
detailed coverage of the historical, political and social changes
relating to housing within the various countries make it an
important text for students and practitioners concerned with
housing, urban affairs, social policy and administration.
