This comparative study is the first to center on the key issues
of homeownership and control today in a number of industrialized
countries. Experts from Canada, Great Britain, Russia, and the
United States draw a cross-national and interdisciplinary, informed
picture of basic issues and values, current trends, and different
policy approaches that have been tested in recent years. This
overview of various national policies and programs is intended for
students and scholars, policymakers and public administrators
dealing with fundamental problems in homeownership and control.
Ownership and control has long been a central theme in the
heated public debates in different countries over housing policy.
How are notions about ownership and control tied to culture? What
are some of the basic values about homeownership in western
societies? What place has homeownership played in the life cycles
of black and white families in the United States? What limitations
to privatization exist in housing reform in Russia now? Who
benefits or loses from public housing sales in Britain? How are
multi-family public housing projects of the 1960s in the United
States being converted to community-corporation control? What
different kinds of tenant attitudes exist toward tenant management
in two U.S. public housing developments? What type of role do
nonprofit housing cooperatives in Canada play? These are only some
of the questions that the ten chapters set out to answer. Reference
lists accompany each of the chapters, adding to the usefulness of
this public policy study for text purposes.
