Final Reflections -- .The world has still to emerge fully from the housing-triggered Global Financial Crisis, but housing crises are not new. The history of housing shows long-run social progress, littered with major disasters; nevertheless the progress is often forgotten, whilst the difficulties hit the headlines. Housing Economics provides a long-term economic perspective on macro and urban housing issues, from the Victorian era onwards. A historical perspective sheds light on modern problems and the constraints on what can be achieved; it concentrates on the key policy issues of housing supply, affordability, tenure, the distribution of migrant communities, mortgage markets and household mobility. Local case studies are interwoven with city-wide aggregate analysis. Three sets of issues are addressed: the underlying reasons for the initial establishment of residential neighbourhoods, the processes that generate growth, decline and patterns of integration/segregation, and the impact of historical development on current problems and the implications for policy.EconomicsManagement scienceSocial policyUrban economicsCities and towns—HistoryEconomics, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W00000Social Policyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W34020Urban Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W49010Urban Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/727000Great BritainfastHistory.fastEconomics.Management science.Social policy.Urban economics.Cities and towns—History.Economics, general.Social Policy.Urban Economics.Urban History.330Meen Geoffreyauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut982627Gibb Kennethauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autLeishman Chrisauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autNygaard Christianauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910254879803321Housing Economics2242535UNINA
