Housing policy has evolved rapidly in Scotland as the new Parliament prioritised housing legislation which brought in major changes to the right to buy, treatment of the homeless and - pioneering a change not yet pursued in England - a single tenure for social housing. Major issues have arisen over the future of council housing in Scotland, how social housing should be regulated, and the role of housing in wider community regeneration. These topics and more are tackled by a range of acknowledged experts on Scottish housing policy in the first book to assess what Scotland has achieved since Devolution took place.
