The book explores both theoretically and empirically the impacts of
housing reforms on housing provision in the context of the
transition from a centrally-planned to a market-based economy.
Fifteen years after the overthrow of state socialism housing policy
has lost its privileged status of a political priority as most
politically emb- ded systems had favoured market-based solutions to
housing problems. This dep- ture from state controlled housing
policies with the aim of providing a dwelling for every family is
significant, particularly in some post-socialist countries where no
new housing policy has emerged. The transition process, embedded in
the paradigm shift from central planning to markets, has triggered
off turbulence and adjustments with tangible outcomes in
post-socialist housing systems. What has changed and what new
housing systems have emerged during this dramatic 'transition to
markets and democracy'? Are these systems more efficient and
equitable? These questions are the main focus of the book with an
emphasis on diversity and change in housing reforms. The book
supports the hypothesis that notions of convergence are not really
appropriate to the conceptualisation of post-socialist housing
systems. It argues that different housing policy choices are going
to map out increasingly divergent s- nario for future development.
