Description

Originally published in 1993, this Routledge Library Editions volume examines how governments across France, Germany, Britain, Denmark and Ireland fundamentally transformed urban housing by replacing industrial revolution slums with mass high-rise, high-density concrete estates. The book provides a detailed comparative analysis of each nation's distinct housing traditions, policies and structural approaches, revealing how different systems converged around similar social problems. It traces the historical evolution of state housing initiatives and their profound impact on community dynamics, highlighting the growing tensions within disadvantaged populations. This scholarly work underscores the persistent drift towards deeper social polarization, an increasingly critical issue in contemporary multicultural and ethnically diverse societies across Europe.

Key Features

Hovels to High Rise covers housing policy development across five European nations from 1850 onwards, offering international comparative perspectives on state intervention in housing.

The book analyses contrasting housing structures and government systems in France, Germany, Britain, Denmark and Ireland to identify convergent social and urban problems.

This Routledge Library Editions title examines the transition from industrial revolution slums to high-density concrete estates and its effects on community polarization.

The work explores how housing traditions and national policies shaped urban development strategies and influenced social inequality across different European contexts.

Originally published in 1993, the book remains relevant for understanding historical patterns of state housing and their lasting impact on disadvantaged communities in Europe.
