E-grāmata: Greenfields, Brownfields and Housing Development

David Fitzpatrick, Executive Director of the RICS Foundation, is supportive of the authors' conclusions: "We welcome the government's proposed increase in the quantities of affordable housing, but would echo the findings of Greenfields, Brownfields and Housing Development in urging ministers to look closely at how solutions to housing shortages can become catalysts for increased local prosperity and improved quality of life".



"Overall Greenfields, Brownfields and Housing Development makes an excellent and timely contribution to debate in this field. The political - economic barriers to more compact forms of development are identified and the authors conclude that the state will need to play a more active role in the development process if a more sustainable form of housing development is to be achieved." Town Planning Review July 2003









'This book provides the reader with a very sound understanding of the way in which house builders, planners and all those with an interest in development are accommodating policy change since the mid 1990s. It draws on a wealth of research experience and provides a very useful mix of material....an important milestone' Journal of Housing and the Built Environment.



'I learned a lot from this book and it is important to anyone working or doing research in the field of contemporary housing development' European Planning Studies Vol 11, No 8
