This title was first published in 2002: When a developer wants to
realize a housing scheme, what can the local planning authority do
to assure that the resulting residential environment is of a high
quality? This book explores the question through a cross-national
comparison of housing development processes in The Netherlands, the
United Kingdom, Germany and France. It analyzes how decisions about
the residential environment are made in different situations, and
by whom. By applying this analysis to housing development processes
in different countries, the book paints a picture of how public
policy and market mechanisms together influence the development of
housing. From this, conclusions are drawn about how local planning
authorities can achieve their objectives concerning the quality of
housing areas.

Urban regeneration schemes involving a wide range of actors and
dependent on private investment are increasingly deployed in
Europe's cities with the aim of delivering private, merit and
public goods. This book explores the relationships, objectives and
strategies of the actors engaging in these schemes in cities of
three advanced European economies. It researches the outcomes of
actor interactions as these transform under the influence of
changing market circumstances and associated risks. The book
focuses on the way this change is reflected in the provision of
mixed-use developments within a context of increasingly polarised
housing markets and urban growth patterns. It argues that although
these schemes can and do deliver much-needed dwellings, their
exposure to market risks may in many cases cause them to fall short
of the desired socio-economically sustainable outcomes.
