'This book presents a fascinating, innovative and important analysis of the politics of housing and planning data. Drawing on critical data studies, it illuminates how the generation, analysis, processing and increasing commodification of these data shape housing markets, economies and social inequalities. These issues have received limited critical attention to date so this book fills a key gap in the housing studies literature.' Michelle Norris, University College Dublin
