Taylor & Francis Families Housing and Property Wealth in a
Book SynopsisThe twenty-first century has so far been characterized by ongoing realignments in the organization of the economy around housing and real estate. Markets have boomed and bust and boomed again with residential property increasingly a focus of wealth accumulation practices. While analyses have largely focussed on global flows of capital and large institutions, families have served as critical actors. Housing properties are family goods that shape how members interact, organise themselves, and deal with the vicissitudes of everyday economic life. Families have, moreover, increasingly mobilized around their homes as assets, aligning household transitions and practices towards the accumulation of property wealth. The capacities of different families to realise this, however, are highly uneven with housing conditions becoming increasingly central to growing inequalities and processes of social stratification. This book addresses changing relationships between families and their homes over

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Seeds of Trouble
Book SynopsisLand rights and land reform were central elements of colonial history. This book looks at their significance for British colonial policy in Nyasaland (modern Malawi), and how the British government tried to prevent discontent among Africans living or working on European-owned private estates. The first section outlines the political and geographical context, the original acquisition of land by foreigners the restriction of the indigenous population to Trust Lands, against a background of rising labour demand, population pressure and discontent. In 1948 Geoffrey Colby was appointed Governor. He was aware of the potentially explosive nature of these issues, and the book describes his policy of land purchase and the abolition of the hated thangata system, by which African tenants paid their foreign landlords annual rent in money or labour. The conclusion emphasises the racial conflict inherent in the employment of indigenous labour on foreign-owned land and summarizes the steps taken to p

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Residential Construction Law
Book SynopsisThis is the first book to offer a systematic and analytical overview of the legal framework for residential construction. In doing so, the book addresses two fundamental questions: Prevention: What assurances can the law give buyers (and later owners and occupiers) of homes that construction work – from building of a complete home to adding an extension or replacing a shower unit – will comply with minimum standards of design, safety and build quality? Cure: What forms of redress - from whom, and by what route - can residents expect, when, often long after completion of construction, they discover defects? The resulting problems pose some big and difficult questions of principle and policy about standards, rights and remedies, which in turn concern justice more generally. This book addresses these key issues in a comparative context across the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand. It is an accessible guide to the existing law for residents and construction professionals (and their legal advisers), but also charts a course to further, meaningful reforms of the legal landscape for residential construction around the world. The book’s two co-authors, Philip Britton and Matthew Bell, have taught in the field in the UK, Australia and New Zealand; both have been active in legal practice, as have the book’s two specialist contributors, Deirdre Ní Fhloinn and Kim Vernau.Trade ReviewPhilip Britton and Matthew Bell have accumulated decades of research and teaching, culminating in this authoritative book … This book is powerful rebuttal to any denial that there is something seriously wrong in this area, both in the UK and elsewhere. -- David Sawtell * Housing After Grenfell Blog *A landmark book that will serve well the needs of anyone involved in this neglected area of law. The authors are to be congratulated on their fine achievement. -- Julian Bailey, White & Case LLP * International Construction Law Review *This book is an excellent analysis of residential construction law in a multitude of jurisdictions … I would recommend this as a very important and well researched analysis of the history of construction law, the current status of construction law and where it may be heading. -- Kelvin Oldridge * BDPS News *This much-needed and excellent book fills a real gap in the residential construction field. It is a practical, comprehensive guide, packed with highly authoritative analysis and all presented in a most readable form. One of the book’s many strengths is that it takes a comparative approach, discussing problems and remedies in Ireland, New Zealand, the different states in Australia and in each of the three main jurisdictions within the UK. * Her Honour Frances Kirkham CBE, Chartered Arbitrator, Adjudicator and Mediator, Atkin Chambers, UK *It is a breath of fresh air to have a book devoted entirely to the oft neglected area of residential building … this book is a valuable resource for anyone involved in residential building work … Britton and Bell have [provided] the data and analysis that is the bedrock of any evidence-based reforms. -- Paula Gerber * Building and Construction Law Journal *Table of Contents1.

Emerald Publishing Limited Mixed-Income Housing Development Planning
Book SynopsisNearly 1.6 billion people worldwide are living in inadequate conditions, according to a recent United Nations report. Local authorities are running out of ways to tackle the increasing challenges of affordable housing. In South Africa, this issue is compounded by historical apartheid and spatial segregation. However, mixed-income housing has proven an effective strategy for alleviating the concentrated poverty that marginalizes certain communities. Functioning as a toolkit for inclusive urban planning, Mixed-Income Housing Development Planning Strategies and Frameworks in the Global South evaluates how this framework meets specific socio-economic goals as opposed taking a broad overview of development. Exploring the relevant policies, planning, and legislation that have guided human settlements in South Africa, the authors consider how best to combat residential segregation, informal settlements, and the exclusive allocation of public housing units to the poorest of the poor. Additional case studies from the USA, Australia, Netherlands, Brazil, Nigeria, Botswana, and Ghana compare emerging building strategies and their benefits, including spatial integration, improved access to social services and other infrastructure, and the promotion of local economic development (LED). Mixed-income housing development has been described as the only way to confront increasing urban poverty and segregation in our built environment. Analysing past projects and focusing on future trends and trajectories, this book acts as both a model for understanding the planning and management of this framework, and a foundation for future research.Table of ContentsForeword; Smart N.

Glenn’s desire to share his success and create a legion of potential property competitors is both unusual and impressive. Glenn Armstrong guides his mentees through a specific programme that helps them go from £0 to hundreds of thousands, and then to become a millionaire in five years... You don’t need to be rich to become a property millionaire! Glenn Armstrong is a self-taught property guru, and succeeding through his own mistakes has helped him identify what works and what doesn't when it comes to the property business. Incredibly, he's happy to share these secrets to success with anyone who will listen, pay attention, and work hard.

His new book is packed full of incredible pearls of wisdom for any budding entrepreneur - not just for those interested in property. Glenn shares inspiring stories about his entrepreneurial career over the decades, from setting up a video rental empire in his 20s to becoming a cabbie after he lost his first million and rather than `just’ waiting for the work to come to him, he put in an extra 30 hours per week to buy a car to hire out to fellow cabbies on an ingenious rent-to-buy scheme. Glenn offers time management tips, motivation, and ideas for success that are applicable for all entrepreneurs. He is really open about what has worked for him, as well as the hurdles he’s had to jump over. Never settling for the status quo, Glenn always seeks to be more creative and innovative, to earn more, succeed, thrive and not just survive in business. Glenn Armstrong is a brilliant example of how anyone with drive, motivation and who is fearless of proper hard graft, can succeed in today's competitive business world!

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Zukunftsfähigkeit des Erbbaurechts: Eine Analyse
Book SynopsisChristiane Siemon gibt einen Überblick zu den rechtlichen Grundlagen des ErbbauRG über den Vergleich von Annuitätendarlehen und Erbbaurecht anhand von praxisnahen Fallbeispielen bis zur Analyse der Zukunftsfähigkeit des aktuellen Erbbaurechts. Sie geht im Besonderen auf die Wertsicherungsklauseln, den marktgerechten Erbbauzins sowie auf die Möglichkeit der verstärkten Nutzung des Erbbaurechts für Kommunen ein. Außerdem wird die Problematik der Altersabsicherung erläutert. Die Autorin zeigt, dass das Erbbaurecht in Verbindung mit den aktuell niedrigen Nominalzinsen nur bedingt eine alternative Möglichkeit des Immobilienerwerbs darstellt. Einbezogen wird die Möglichkeit der Ermäßigung des Erbbauzinses zugunsten von Familien und der Änderung des Erbbauzinses anhand des VPI. Im Rahmen der nachhaltigen Stadtentwicklung könnte das Erbbaurecht darüber hinaus einen größeren Stellenwert einnehmen. Diese Möglichkeit wird durch aktuelle Beispiele aus der Wirtschaft dargestellt.

The University of North Carolina Press Race for Profit How Banks and the Real Estate
Book SynopsisNarrating the story of a sea-change in housing policy and its dire impact on African Americans, Race for Profit reveals how the urban core was transformed into a new frontier of cynical extraction.Trade ReviewTaylor's novel analysis, vivid storytelling, clear argumentation, and encyclopedic mastery of the historiography make [Race for Profit] a future classic." - The Metropole"Essential for readers wishing to understand the depth and differentials of U.S. racial discrimination, Taylor's masterly expose of the political economy of the racially bifurcated market systematically lays bare how residential segregation made profits from race; it also illustrates the mismatch of market solutions to racist policies and practices and underscores the limits of legislation alone to undo institutional racism." - Library Journal, starred review"Among the myriad strengths of Race for Profit is Taylor's thoughtful and poignant analysis of the structures of meaning that undergird the racialized political economy of homeownership in this period." - H-Net Reviews"In this meticulously researched and well-written volume, Taylor . . . highlights an important chapter in African American history, focusing on how mortgage bankers and the FHA turned the promise of black home ownership into an urban nightmare, ultimately reinforcing historic urban-suburban racial segregation." - CHOICE"In her thorough examination of a purposefully erased chapter of housing policy, Taylor achieves a compelling history for both specialists and the general-interest reader. The concept of predatory inclusion, perhaps Taylor's most important contribution, offers an important framework for critiques of housing under capitalism. . . . [and] suggests a more revolutionary rethinking of our contemporary relationship to housing." - Carolina Planning Journal"The product of a seasoned author, Taylor's book strikes a tough balance. It details the intricacies of HUD policy while holding readers close through very human depictions of the experiences and manipulations of those policies. . . . There's within its pages new ways to interrogate the story we tell about policy gone wrong." - Black Perspectives"Taylor grounds her analysis in extensive archival research and in conversation with the historiography that it both extends and challenges." - Metropolitics"Narrating the story of a sea-change in housing policy and its dire impact on African Americans, Race for Profit reveals how the urban core was transformed into a new frontier of cynical extraction." - Democratic Left "Details bungling mismanagement, gross corruption, distorted incentives, civil rights regulations that went unheeded and unenforced - what Taylor calls a system of "predatory inclusion" that was distinct yet not entirely free from the racist system of exclusion that preceded it." - The New York Times"The book makes a strong case that giving so much power to profit-driven industries doomed the program's goals from the start, and there are clear parallels to the later subprime mortgage crisis of the 2000s. Race for Profit is an important addition to the literature on predatory lending and housing discrimination, as well as a valuable warning." - Foreword Reviews"Like many historians, Taylor stays close to the history she documents and doesn't set out to address the present day in a sustained or direct way. She doesn't propose a solution to these perpetual abuses, and certainly not a neat, bipartisan policy move. In her telling, the problems are deep and abiding. They have to do with the degree to which the "American Dream" has become synonymous with the big yet also small accomplishment of owning a house." - The New Republic"A groundbreaking new book." - The New Yorker"A rich economic and policy history, Race for Profit begins and ends its account of housing inequality with people. . . . In crisp and empathetic detail, Taylor . . . discusses the Black people who were cynically given predatory loans to purchase dilapidated houses and who eventually fought back." - The Nation"Taylor lays bare the naked racism, unethical practices, and rampant profiteering that saturated all aspects of the federal government and real estate industry's treatment of Black America." - Planning Perspectives"Taylor's new and critical addition to the canon of housing-inequality scholarship illuminates how the private real estate industry, even in the era of supposed "Fair Housing," failed Black people by preying on them for profit. It also reveals how mistaken American ideas about real estate-specifically, the idea of homeownership as a pillar of the American Dream-fueled the system that encouraged the pillaging of Black capital, while ultimately betraying the American public writ large." - Public Books“What’s the last great book you read?”“I can’t just name one. I want to highlight three great books I recently read on America’s political economy. The first, Race for Profit: How Banks and the Real Estate Industry Undermined Black Homeownership, by Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, is an expertly told history of the post-civil rights emergence of what Taylor terms “predatory inclusion”. The second, From Here to Equality: Reparations for Black Americans in the Twenty-First Century, by William A. Darity Jr. and A. Kirsten Mullen, is the best booklong case for reparations. The third, The Broken Heart of America: St. Louis and the Violent History of the United States, by Walter Johnson, adroitly examines a U.S. history of imperial racial capitalism with its crosswinds centered in St. Louis.” - Dr. Ibram Kendi, New York Times, March 20201
