Produktbeschreibung
This book, extensively revised and updated in its second edition, presents a comprehensive overview of housing policy in Australia over the last quarter century. At a time of widespread concern about declining housing system performance, it investigates the many dimensions of housing affordability and housing wealth inequality, together with government actions affecting these outcomes. The authors analyse the causes and implications of falling home ownership, rising rental stress rates and the long-term neglect of social housing, as well as the housing situation of Indigenous Australians. Building on its analysis of housing policy evolution in modern Australia, this new edition also documents and critiques the numerous government efforts of the early 2020s to halt the decline in housing affordability. These reforms span tenancy regulation, land-use planning and housing supply, first home buyer assistance, and social/affordable housing investment. Throughout, the book identifies current and future housing challenges for Australian governments, recognising these as a complex set of inter-connected problems. Drawing on its coverage of the economics, politics and governance of housing provision, the final chapter outlines a pathway to the transformational national strategy needed for a fairer and more productive housing system. Hal Pawson is an Honorary Professor, City Futures Research Centre, UNSW Sydney. Renowned as a housing researcher and commentator both in Australia and the UK, he is a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Housing and a former Managing Editor of the international journal, Housing Studies. Vivienne Milligan PSM is an Honorary Professor, City Futures Research Centre, UNSW Sydney. Her distinguished career has spanned over 40 years as both a policymaker and a researcher specialising in social and affordable housing and Indigenous housing. Judith Yates AO was an Associate Professor of Economics at the University of Sydney.  Following her co-authorship input to the first edition of the book, Judith sadly passed away in 2022. This second edition is dedicated to her immense contribution to Australian housing policy analysis as the nation’s most highly-esteemed academic housing economist of her day.

Rezensionen
"It is a concise resource for politicians, policy makers and advocates interested in addressing affordability and access concerns, and an essential guide for students of Australian urban and housing policy studies. ... This new book on Australian housing policy concisely brings a selection of Australia's research effort and experience to a wider audience, but it does more than this too. It outlines an agenda for reform." (Julie Lawson, Journal of Housing and the Built Environment, November 28, 2020)
"Housing Policy in Australia has already become the standard text on the topic. The book is comprehensive, incisive, and lucid. It will be required reading for students, practitioners, and policy makers. ... as essential as the book is for students of Australian housing policy, its international comparative perspective makes it an important resource for housing studies throughoutthe 'developed' world. Nearly every chapter situates Australia's housing problems and housing policies within an international context, comparing Australia to other countries in Europe and North America." (Alex Schwartz, Housing Studies, September 2, 2020)
"This includes a near-comprehensive explanation of why housing is so unaffordable and what governments can do about it. ... the text is easy to read with its clear writing style, a balance of views and strong Organisation of the material. ... This book is essential reading for anyone who wants the necessary knowledge and guidance to change that unnecessary fact." (Ryan Harris, Shelter NSW eBulletin, February 21, 2020)
