"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."

'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
