The financialisation of housing production: Exploring capital flows and value extraction among major housebuilders in the UK
This paper examines trends in the operation and financial performance of major UK housebuilders shortly before, during and after the global financial crisis (GFC) in 2008. It outlines two contrasting explanations of what has happened in the sector over this period. The first is described as an ‘institutional recovery’ perspective, in which a period of initial retrenchment after the crash was followed by steady reinvestment, and then a cautious mo…
Putting the Squeeze on 'Generation Rent: Housing Benefit Claimants in the Private Rented Sector - Transitions, Marginality and Stigmatisation
The term 'Generation Rent' has gained currency in recent years to reflect the fact that more 25 to 34 year olds in Britain now live in rented accommodation rather than owner-occupation. The term also conveys the extent to which age-related divisions in the housing market are becoming as significant as longer standing tenure divisions. However, this portmanteau term covers a wide array of different housing circumstances - from students, young prof…
Whose place? Whose history? Contrasting narratives and experiences of neighbourhood change and housing renewal
This paper suggests that more attention needs to be given to the historical formation and development of neighbourhood attachment in working-class areas. Notions of belonging and identity may be contingent, complex or contradictory and are shaped by the characteristics of place. The pattern of population change over time through the impact of migration is especially important in shaping notions of neighbourhood identity and perceptions of change.…
Housing: Did it Have to Be Like This
One might be tempted to think that at the present juncture a socialist critique of Britain's New Labour housing policy is about as timely as a snowfall in June. Indeed, this pamphlet by Davis & Wig
Separate Societies: Poverty and Inequality in US Cities (2nd edition)
Hidden from History? Housing Studies, the Perpetual Present and the Case of Social Housing in Britain
This paper examines the use and abuse of historical method in the field of housing studies, with specific reference to predictions about the future shape of social housing in Britain. It reflects on the debates about council housing in the early 1990s and sets these against subsequent policy developments. The paper suggests that this exercise reveals some shortcomings in dominant paradigms within housing studies, such as the misreading and misrep…

The Development of Housing Policy in the English Regions: Trends and Prospects
This paper explores the emergence of housing strategies at the regional level in England in the context of wider ambiguities over establishing this new tier of governance. The paper notes the growing differentiation in local housing markets across the country and examines the implications for national policy formation and the development of new regional structures and responsibilities. These trends are interpreted by reference to different models…
Social Balance and Mixed Neighbourhoods in Britain since 1979: A Review of Discourse and Practice in Social Housing
In Britain, current interest in social balance has arisen partly as a response to increased management difficulties in social housing and partly in response to the concepts of the underclass and social exclusion. Social balance is now endorsed in some, but not all, the relevant urban policy statements of the New Labour government elected in 1997. A modified form of poststructural discourse analysis offers the best way of understanding the term an…
Housing Professionalism in the United Kingdom: The Final Curtain or a New Age
The unusually large, predominantly municipal, housing sector in the UK has provided the context for a large occupational grouping of "housing managers" that has claimed professional status.However, within the post-1945 British welfare state this professional project enjoyed limited success and social housing remained a fragile professional domain.This article explores the consequences for housing professionalism of the recent displacement of the …

Social Mix and the `Balanced Community' in British housing policy – a tale of two epochs
Owners yet Tenants: The Position of Leaseholders in Flats in England and Wales
The position of flat owners inevitably raises complex issues in terms of the balance of individual and collective rights and responsibilities to be enshrined in housing law. These issues are resolved in various ways according to national policies and market frameworks. This paper examines the unique and unusual position of long leaseholders in privately owned blocks of flats in England and Wales. It outlines the major legal changes which have aff…
Local Housing Strategies in England: An Assessment of Their Changing Role and Content
Three stages in the recent evolution of local housing strategies may be distinguished — the 'comprehensive' strategy, the 'alternative' strategy and the 'enabling' strategy. The discussion of the enabling role has, however, been pitched at the level of general principle, rather than its translation into practice. In this paper a survey of how local authorities have sought to prepare the new enabling strategies reveals a renewed interest in the sy…
