Social Housing in Europe II. A review of policies and outcomes

2008 "Social housing and market residential segregation: the case of municipal housing companies in Sweden", pp. 225-239 in Kathleen Scanlon and Christine Whitehead (ed.), Social Housing in Europe II. A review of policies and outcomes. London: London School of Economics and Political Science.


This book is a sequel to and builds on Social Housing in Europe, published in 2007 by LSE London. That first book was descriptive, and aimed to give an overview of the social housing sector in nine European Countries, in a format accessible to the nonspecialist. This second book explores in more depth some of the themes that emerged from the first. Like the first book, this publication war partly funded by the UK's Higher Education Innovation Fund, which aims to increase collaboration between universites and practitioners.
