Review:

`Housing Markets and the Global Financial Crisis: The Uneven Impact on Households brings together a diverse set of researchers from a solid mix of countries, culminating in an accessible, methodologically sound and engaging edited collection. Given this, and as a first-attempt at examining the GFC comparatively in terms of its impacts on households, this book is a much welcomed addition to the urban studies discourse broadly, and empirical work on the GFC specifically.' -- Dylan Simone, Urban Studies `Housing Markets and the Global Financial Crisis is worth reading for policymakers (in central banks, governments or municipalities) who are in charge of the introduction of regulatory or fiscal measures in the housing sector. I enjoyed reading this small and handy book and recommend that researchers and political decision makers involved in housing buy it, read it and finally recommend it to others as a means of achieving a more global insight.' -- Karin Wagner, International Journal of Housing Policy
