Impacts and implications for the post-Covid city: The case of Toronto
Since the onset of COVID-19, scholars have questioned whether the pandemic will alter the fundamentals propelling the growth of global cities. Using a case study of Toronto, the paper examines and analyses changes impacting the city because of the pandemic, with a focus on work, mobility and housing. In assessing pandemic-related disruption, it outlines the experiences of the early phases of recovery and expectations of continued uncertainty. Mov…

The Economic Impact of Labour Migration
The Future of European Union Social Policy and its Implications for Housing
European economic integration raises important questions about the role of social policy in an economic and monetary union. In the past, it was often argued that there would be upward convergence in the social policies of member-states. More recently, fears have been expressed about downward convergence, partly as a result of globalisation pressures. These fears are shown to be largely unfounded, although there have been trends towards greater si…
Include Me Out? The New Politics of Place and Poverty
London is being successfully regenerated at present, yet poverty and social exclusion are increasing. The paradox is explained in part by the openness of the London economy and the lack of basic skills of a substantial minority of the population. The Government's policies for tackling social exclusion are undermined by conflating the concept of social exclusion with the discredited terminology of the "urban underclass". To be effective, policy ne…

Meeting housing needs through the market: An assessment of housing policies and the supply/demand balance in France and Great Britain
In both Britain and France, for the last 15 years or so, housing policy has become more market‐orientated. This paper examines what this has meant for the balance between supply and demand and for progress in meeting housing needs. Current projections for how housing needs and the demand/supply balance will develop in the 1990s are also analysed. For each country, the determinants of housing demand, both demographic and economic, and the supply p…
Maastricht treaty: Consequences for national housing policies
European integration will have several effects on national housing policies. The major responsibility for policy formulation and policy implementation in housing will remain with national and local governments. Nevertheless, the Maastricht Treaty will have important implications for housing through several channels: factor mobility, competition policy and liberalisation of markets, economic growth, lower inflation, cuts in government spending, ta…
European Social Policy: Conceptions and Choices
The Social Charter declares that the social dimension of the Community be given the same importance as the economic dimension. Despite this, the EC currently lacks any coherent, consistent or comprehensive social philosophy of policy. State intervention in the form of social policy can be justified mainly on grounds of efficiency, equity or solidarity. The appropriate level of intervention - local, regional, national or EC - is considered separat…
Large‐scale transfers of council housing to new landlords: Is British social housing becoming more ‘European
Social housing in Britain has traditionally been provided in a very different way to most other European countries, with municipal authorities having a dominant role. Recently, a number of local authorities have transferred the whole of their housing stocks to new landlords, ceasing to be housing providers. This process of ‘Voluntary Transfer’ is described and analysed, with particular attention paid to the interests of the government, tenants an…

What Determines Local Authorities' Capital Expenditure on Housing? An Evaluation of Various Models
There is a wide variety of theoretical models for explaining expenditure variations across local authorities. These include the demographic approach, agency models, party effect models and incrementalism. In this paper we examine inter-authority variations in housing capital expenditure, testing each of the four models against data for English local authorities for the period 1981/82 and 1986/87. We develop a comprehensive behavioural model, inco…
A Behavioural Model of the Supply of Re-Lets of Council Housing in England
The supply of council housing over recent years has become increasingly dependent on re-lets of the existing stock, due to sharp reductions in new building by local authorities. This paper sets out a hypothesis for the determinants of re-let supply in terms of the characteristics of council tenants and local market factors. This hypothesis is tested for English local authorities between 1980 and 1987 using correlation and regression analyses. The…
British housing since 1979: Has the system changed
This article assesses the way the British housing system has responded to large changes in policy and economic variables since 1979 in order to determine whether behavioural relationships have remained stable during this period or whether underlying relationships have varied. Changes in demographic factors in relation to total supply, in the allocation of housing between different groups and different tenures, in rents, prices and the availabilit…
Where did it hurt most? uneven decline in the availability of council housing in England
The supply of council housing becoming available for letting to new tenants in England has declined considerably over the last decade, both through cutbacks in new capital expenditure by local authorities and through the effects of the Right to Buy on the overall size of the stock. This decline has been uneven, with important differences between regions and between types of local authority. It is shown that london in particular has been disadvant…
Local Variations in the Sale of Council Houses in England, 1979–1984
KLEINMAN M. and WHITEHEAD C. M. E. (1987) Local variations in the sale of council houses in England, 1979–1984, Reg. Studies 21, 1–11. The ‘received view’ about council house sales suggests that spatial variations in the level of sales will be very closely linked to variations in household and dwelling characteristics and to the political control of the local authority. In this paper, an assessment is made, using correlation and regression analys…
Private Renting in London: Is It So Different
This article examines the special role of the private rented sector in the provision of housing in London. The proportion of households who rent privately continues to be much higher in the capital than in the rest of the country. The reasons for this are analysed, together with the type of households that are found in the sector in London, and the sort of accommodation they obtain. The conclusion is reached that while the operation of the sector…
The Private Rented Sector: A Characteristics Approach
The paper applies the 'characteristics' approach developed with respect to the labour market in order to examine why the percentage of households who rent privately varies across the country. Regression analysis is used to show that the distribution of private renting is closely related to the distribution of particular household characteristics and that the relationship varies systematically between sub-sectors. Certain local market factors are …
