- Synopsis
- The Tenants’ Movement is both a history of tenant organisation and mobilisation, and a guide to understanding how the struggles of tenant organisers have come to shape housing policy today. Charting the history of tenant mobilisation, and the rise of consumer movements in housing, it is one of the first cross-cultural, historical analyses of tenants’ organisations’ roles in housing policy. This book shows both the past and future of tenant mobilisation. The book’s approach applies social movement theory to housing studies, and bridges gaps between research in urban sociology, urban studies and the built environment. It provides a challenging study of the ability of contemporary social movements, community campaigns and urban struggles to shape the debate around public services and engage with the unfinished project of welfare reform.
