This book investigates how housing policy changes in Asia since the
late 1990s have impacted on housing affordability, security,
livability, culture and social development. Using case study
examples from countries/cities including China, Hong Kong, India,
Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Malaysia, Bangladesh, Singapore, Indonesia,
Thailand and Vietnam, the contributors contextualize housing policy
development in terms of both global and local socio-economic and
political changes. They then investigate how policy changes have
shaped and re-shaped the housing wellbeing of the local people and
the social development within these places, which they argue should
constitute the core purpose of housing policy. This book will open
up a new dimension for understanding housing and social development
in Asia and a new conceptual perspective with which to examine
housing which, by nature, is culture-sensitive and people-oriented.
It will be of interest to students, scholars and professionals in
the areas of housing studies, urban and social development and the
public and social policy of Asia.
