Abstract

As well as representing the centre of numerous economic activities, cities are also residential concentrations. The expansion of urbanisation since the United Kingdom’s first industrial revolution has created a series of housing crises, and today the difficulty of providing adequate housing for the 80 per cent of the nation’s population living in urban areas is one of the major problems confronting policy-makers. Although the exact nature and scale of the problem varies between urban areas, some common features are apparent.
