This is a growing sector undergoing a huge period of change - with local authorities able to build their own housing for the first time in decades.

Weaving together exemplar case studies, essays and interviews with social housing pioneers and clients, this book demonstrates real-life best practice responses to the challenges associated with housing provision, with a focus on design ideas.
