'A few distinguished names have written books on housing policy that have remained in print over this twenty year period - Paul Balchin's is one of them....This format and style make for a very lucid structure that , in turn, makes the book accessible to the targeted student reader. the reader will find it easy to navigate a passage through the book to find the themes and issues that interest them.' - Mary Griffiths (University of Central England) - Housing Studies Vol.17 - 6/02
