| Summary: | "House, Home and Community" is the end result of a project designed by Canada Mortgae and Housing Corporation to examine the progress made in terms of housing in Canada. As part of an unusual experiment, a consortium of 22 authors including academics, housing consultants and other specialists from every region of the country, all directly involved in the process of producing dwelling units, conducted a study which reflects the rich diversity of opinions on housing across Canada. The contributors establish certain major criteria to assess current and future housing situations, zero in on housing research issues and priorities, and highlight certain policy-related questions which are looming on the horizon. An essential reference document on urban housing and development in Canada since the Second World War, "House, Home and Community" will be required reading for academics, urban planners, professionals and students interested in housing matters |
