Housing East Asia - by J Doling & R Ronald (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Housing policy has been central to the economic success stories of the major East Asian economies as well as a pillar of social and welfare provision. This book explores not only the development of their distinctive approach, but also the challenges posed in recent years, and currently, by rapid socio-economic and demographic change.

Review Quotes

"This book is a strong addition to comparative housing research. ... A particular strength of this book is it is not only concerned with how the housing systems in East Asia have contributed to the 'success' of the region but also documents 'how they are adapting to new, more challenging conditions and are likely to fare in the future' ... . It thus provides important updates to burgeoning studies of housing sectors in East Asia." (Jie Chen, Journal of Housing and the Built Environment, Vol. 31, 2016)
