Originally published in 1987 this book examines attempts by
successive individuals and governments to overcome slum conditions
and homelessness, to reform landlord-tenant relations and to
provide sound modern dwellings with full amenities for those who
need them. Its focus is on how those responsible for public housing
concentrated their energies on buildings rather than management, on
property rather than people, in sharp distinction to the women who
played such an innovative and humanizing role in the early days of
housing reform. Efforts to resolve public housing problems are
examined in a study of twenty housing estates, and of the
initiatives that local authorities have taken to reverse the
sometimes overwhelming decay.
