With ever-decreasing affordability and availability of homes, the UK has a longstanding and complex housing crisis.



Rather than laying the blame on a particular group or cause, this book explains the root causes of our current housing situation and proposes useful ways forward. The author uses his experience of delivering housing policy in Greater Manchester to analyse the interlocking issues of demographic and social policy change, the financial and planning systems, the construction industry and the UKs recent change of government.



Key reading for housing researchers and policy makers, this book analyses recent reform plans and the feasibility of achieving an effective and accessible UK housing landscape.

Recenzijos

'Bricking It is a clear, well argued and thoroughly researched account of the UK housing crisis and how we can escape it. Winstanley convincingly traces the roots of the current crisis back to the neoliberal dogma of the 1980s, showing that the only way to fix the mess we're in is to reverse Thatcher's reforms and make housing a human right rather than a financialized commodity.' Grace Blakeley, journalist and author of Vulture Capitalism 'In this timely, meticulously researched book Charlie Winstanley sets out clearly the failures in housing policy of the last forty years while offering thoughtful solutions to the many problems identified. Placing the crisis in historical and international context, it is a comprehensive guide to the state of housing in the UK today. It is clear Charlie has thought carefully about the subject and has a great passion for fixing it.' Daniel Hewitt, journalist and presenter
