Urban Land Economics and Public Policy (Macmillan Building and Surveying Series)

As a reflection of the change in the UK's economic strategy in recent years, this revised edition considers public policy in greater depth than previously with the inclusion of a chapter on welfare economics, analysis of trends in development and location and the effects of market changes. There are also chapters dealing with planning policies in relation to inner city regeneration, critical consideration of housing policy, and an examination of the economics of the construction industry and its performance during the 1980s. Paul Balchin is also author of "Housing Improvement and Social Inequality", and "Housing Policy and Housing Needs". Jeffrey Kieve is author of "Electric Telegraph: An Ecnomic and Social History". Gregory Bull is co-author of "Regional and Urban Economics" with Paul Balchin.
