Cities and the Super-Rich - Real Estate, Elite Practices and Urban Political Economies (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2017): Ray Forrest,... Cities and the Super-Rich - Real Estate, Elite Practices and Urban Political Economies (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2017)
Ray Forrest, Sin Yee Koh, Bart Wissink
R4,255 Discovery Miles 42 550 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

With the rise of wealth inequalities, our cities are changing dramatically. This collection critically engages with and advances existing debates on the super-rich and their roles in these transformations. An interdisciplinary range of contributions from international experts including sociologists, geographers, historians, discourse analysts, and urban studies specialists reveal crucial aspects of the real estate investment practices of the super-rich, their social spaces in the city as well as the distinct influence of the super-rich on the transformation of four key cities: London, Tokyo, Singapore and Hong Kong. By drawing together diverse disciplines, perspectives, and experiences across different geographical contexts, this book offers a fresh, comparative, and nuanced take on the super-rich and the 1% city, as well as a solid, empirically and theoretically grounded basis to think about future research questions and policy implications.

Young People and Housing - Transitions, Trajectories and Generational Fractures (Hardcover): Ray Forrest, Ngai Ming Yip Young People and Housing - Transitions, Trajectories and Generational Fractures (Hardcover)
Ray Forrest, Ngai Ming Yip
R4,935 Discovery Miles 49 350 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Young People and Housing brings together new research exploring the economic, social, and cultural challenges that face young people in search of permanent housing. Featuring international case studies from Asia, Europe, and Australia, Young People and Housing is a collection of groundbreaking work from leading scholars in housing policy. Younger generations across a wide range of societies face increasing difficulties in gaining access to housing. Housing occupies a pivotal position in the transition from parental dependence to adult independence. Delayed independence has significant implications for marriage and family formation, fertility, inter and intra generational tensions, social mobility and social inequalities. The social and cultural dimensions are, of course, enormously varied with strong contrasts between Asian and Western societies in terms of intergenerational norms and practices in relation to housing. Nevertheless, younger households in China (including Hong Kong), Japan, the USA, Australasia and Europe face very similar challenges in the housing sphere. Moreover, concerns about the housing future for younger generations are gaining greater policy and popular prominence in many countries.

Selling the Welfare State (Routledge Revivals) - The Privatisation of Public Housing (Paperback): Ray Forrest, Alan Murie Selling the Welfare State (Routledge Revivals) - The Privatisation of Public Housing (Paperback)
Ray Forrest, Alan Murie
R1,504 Discovery Miles 15 040 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Originally published in 1988, this book offers the first comprehensive and critical analysis of the privatisation of public housing in Britain. It outlines the historical background to the growth of public housing and the developing political debatea surrounding its disposal. The main emphasis in the book, however, is on the ways in which privatisation in housing links to other key changes in British society. The long trend for British social housing to become a welfare housing sector is related to evidence of growing social polarisation and segregation. Within this overall context, the book explores the uneven spatial and social consequences of the policy.

Changing Governance and Public Policy in East Asia (Paperback): Ka-Ho Mok, Ray Forrest Changing Governance and Public Policy in East Asia (Paperback)
Ka-Ho Mok, Ray Forrest
R1,516 Discovery Miles 15 160 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

The search for good governance has become an increasingly important element of public policy and public management and is high on the political agenda of East Asian countries. The need for robust governance structures and institutions was brought into sharp focus by the Asian Financial Crisis which adversely affected most East Asian societies. Since then they have begun to look for ways to restructure their public administration and political systems in order to develop new mechanisms and structures to promote good governance. This book focuses on how selected Asian states have responded to the growing impact of "liberalizing and marketizing trends" in public policy formulation and public management. To what extent is the "state-guided" regime in Asia still relevant to governing public policy / public management? What are the policy implications for a growing number of Asian states which are pursuing more pro-competition policy instruments? The book is a timely and important collection that offers critical analysis of the search for new governance in Asia and compares and contrasts experiences in selected Asian societies such as China, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, Singapore, and other parts of South East Asia. Chapters are written by leading scholars in the fields of comparative development, policy and governance studies from Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, China, Singapore, Japan and the United Kingdom.

Home Ownership in Crisis? - The British Experience of Negative Equity (Paperback): Ray Forrest, Patricia Kennett, Philip Leather Home Ownership in Crisis? - The British Experience of Negative Equity (Paperback)
Ray Forrest, Patricia Kennett, Philip Leather
R836 Discovery Miles 8 360 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

First published in 1999, this book brings together the findings from research projects funded by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation and the Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions. The programme of research examined the problems faced by home owners with the collapse of the property market in the late 1980s. The book focuses on households with negative equity and uses analyzes of secondary data sets, social surveys and in-depth interviews to explore the implications of the fall in property values for both households and the wider economy. In particular it examines the kinds of coping strategies adopted by home owners in relation to debt and mobility. Home Ownership in Crisis? thus gets beyond aggregate estimates and offers the reader a detailed understanding of what negative equity actually means for the individuals concerned. Moreover, by exposing a range of circumstances in which negative equity arises, the book also informs debates about the kinds of policy initiatives which may be appropriate in dealing with a more volatile economic environment in Britain and elsewhere.

R859 Discovery Miles 8 590 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

In 1915 Robert Park penned his seminal paper "The City: Suggestions for the investigation of human behaviour in the city environment". This essay provided an agenda for the Chicago School of Urban Sociology, which formed the basis of urban research for decades. Given that China's urban centres now occupy the spotlight that once belonged to American cities, Park's essay is a platform and point of departure for this volume, which gathers together reflections from a broad range of urban China specialists to consider Park's (ir)relevance today - for cities in China, for questions about the social life of the city and for urban research more generally. Essential for a broad range of urban studies scholars, this book is an invaluable teaching resource and a useful tool for policy-makers and planners.
