"For me, housing is the lens through which I view issues of inequity in cities since it locates people in specific places that are linked to or excluded from various kinds of opportunities, or that provide them healthful homes and environments or expose them to various kinds of environmental harms. And planning has a strong role in that."

It’s great to hear that Routledge has released the second edition of “The Affordable Housing Reader”! This publication is likely to be a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the complexities and challenges surrounding affordable housing. Do you have any specific insights or updates about this edition that you’d like to share?
Thanks for your interest! For this new edition, we made substantial changes to the content. You can find the table of contents here: https://www.routledge.com/The-Affordable-Housing-Reader/Mueller-Tighe/p/book/9780367280475?srsltid=AfmBOorPOOBkXChK97HyeDVMwJO8gHr5R5i42zZjgJZDTKU-Rt5advr4 I will post the introduction to the second edition on the site so you can see how we approached it this time. There has been a surge of interest in housing policy and we tried to both engage with themes being raised today (land use reform, right to housing, housing and health) and also provide the historical context so often absent from current discussions.
