This major reference work will be a comprehensive, authoritative source of facts, ideas, concepts and themes anchored on housing and home. The Encyclopedia aims to become the major single reference work for housing professionals - for academics and practitioners - for all teaching, learning and research needs. It will be international in scope, engaging with trends in every world region. The editorial board and contributors will be drawn from a wide constituency, collating expertise from academics, policy makers, professionals and practitioners, and from every key centre for housing research.
