Taylor & Francis Housing Policy in the United States
Book SynopsisThe fourth edition of Housing Policy in the United States refreshes its classic, foundational coverage of the field with new data, analysis, and comparative focus. This landmark volume offers a broad overview that synthesizes a wide range of material to highlight the significant problems, concepts, programs and debates that all defi ne the aims, challenges, and milestones within and involving housing policy. Expanded discussion in this edition centers on state and local activity to produce and preserve affordable housing, the impact and the implications of reduced fi nancial incentives for homeowners.Other features of this new edition include:â Analysis of the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 on housing- related taxexpenditures;â Review of the state of fair housing programs in the wake of the Trump Administrationâs rollbackof several key programs and policies;â Cross- examination of U.S. housing policy and conditionsTrade ReviewMy copy of an earlier edition of Alex Schwartz’s Housing Policy in the United States is dog-eared, creased, and underlined, proof that I’ve returned to that text again and again over the years. Now updated and expanded—including with international comparisons—this is the go-to book for anyone who wants to understand the nature and consequences of housing policy in the United States. Matthew Desmond, Maurice P. During Professor of Sociology, Princeton University, Author of EvictedAlex Schwartz’s book is, hands-down, the best single resource on U.S. housing policy. It’s a perfect introduction for those just coming to the field as well as a terrific reference for those who need to brush up on details or statistics about particular programs and policies. Clearly written and comprehensive, it is the rare book that is useful for both scholars and practitioners. Ingrid Gould Ellen, Paulette Goddard Professor of Urban Policy and Planning and Faculty Director, NYU Furman Center, New York UniversityAlex Schwartz has done it again with the fourth edition of what has come to be the go-to housing policy text in the U.S. It’s amazing that he is able to update loads of existing material and then continue to add newly relevant sections. I’m thrilled with the new chapter on comparative international housing policy. I can’t wait to add it to my own housing policy course.Dan Immergluck, Professor, Urban Studies Institute, Georgia State UniversityThe fourth edition of Alex Schwartz’s book covers the full range of federal housing policies for renters, owners, and special needs populations. The book remains accessible to all readers, from the layman to the seasoned housing policy expert. Finally, the book is well substantiated with many extremely helpful tables and figures that assist the reader in understanding the many insights offered in the text.Kirk McClure, Professor, Urban Planning, University of KansasAlex Schwartz has done a great service to the housing field with his 4th edition of Housing Policy in the United States. He has crafted an indispensable resource for understanding why housing matters in all its dimensions. Most of what you need to know about housing is in this book. Sandra Newman, Professor of Policy Studies, Johns Hopkins UniversityThis time Alex Schwartz goes global with the most comprehensive and a most readable examination of US housing policy in its international context up to and including the impact of Covid-19 and beyond. Gregory D. Squires, Professor of Sociology and Public Policy & Public Administration, George Washington UniversityThis latest edition remains the single best place to find up-to-date answers to nearly all questions about American housing policy. More than a clear technical guide, it shows how these policies are cultural and political products, now viewed in helpful international comparison. Lawrence J. Vale, Associate Dean, School of Architecture and Planning, Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyThis is a definitive text for understanding the history and functioning of housing policy. The new comparative international chapter is especially insightful and useful. Comprehensive and up-to-date, this book is a most valuable resource for practitioners, policy makers and all who wish to be informed about US housing policy.Susan Wachter, Professor of Real Estate and Finance, The Wharton School, University of PennsylvaniaTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Biophilic Connections and Environmental
Book SynopsisBiophilic Connections and Environmental Encounters in the Urban Age takes a multi-disciplinary approach, drawing on the authors' wide range of experience, to provide a greater understanding of the different dimensions of environmental engagement. It considers the ways that we interact with our environments, presenting a comprehensive account of how people negotiate and use the urban landscape. Set within current debates concerning urban futures, societal issues, sustainable cities, health and well-being, the book explores our innate need for contact with the natural world through biophilic design thinking to expand our knowledge base and promote a wider understanding of the importance of these interactions on our collective well-being. It responds to questions such as, what are the urban qualities that support our well-being? As an urbanised society what are the environmental determinants that promote healthy and satisfying lifestyles? Beginning with an overview of cTable of ContentsIntroduction 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Vertical Urbanism
Book SynopsisStudies of compact cities have evolved along with the rising awareness of climate change and sustainable development. Relevant debates, however, reveal that the prevailing definitions and practices of compact cities are tied primarily to traditional Western urban forms.This book reinterprets compact city, and develops a ground-breaking discourse of Vertical Urbanism, a concept that has never been critically articulated. It emphasizes Vertical Urbanism as a dynamic design strategy instead of a static form, distinguishing it from the stereotyped concept of vertical city or towers in the park dominant in China and elsewhere, and suggests its adaptability to different geographic and cultural contexts. Using Chinese cities as laboratories of investigation, this book explores the design, ecological, and sociocultural dimensions of building compact cities, and addresses important global urban issues through localized design solutions, such as tTable of ContentsList of figures List of tables List of contributors Preface Part I: Framing the Discourse of Vertical Urbanism 1.
