This book provides a comparative assessment of housing policies in Europe, paying particular attention to the causes and consequences of rising rents and energy costs, and the various policy instruments implemented to deal with these challenges. Adopting a country case study approach, the book examines the ways in which housing costs differ across the continent, and the reasons behind these variations. Each chapter examines the idiosyncrasies of issues such as tenure structure, housing stock and housing supply structures within a particular country, and their impact on housing and energy costs. A concluding chapter offers a comparative analysis of developments across Europe. With housing and energy costs proving to be a significant issue currently facing policymakers, this book provides important insights for all those interested in public policy, housing policy, sociology, and political science.
