住房市场更新是近年来最具争议的城市政策计划之一。 《住房市场更新和社会阶层》批判性地审视了住房市场更新的基本原理：开发“高价值”住房市场，以取代所谓的“失败市场”的低成本住房。这样的计划符合谁的利益，谁会受到损失？
作者借鉴利物浦的经验证据，认为房地产市场的复兴符合中产阶级的利益，他们将住房市场视为社会和经济“机会”的领域，这与更关心“居住”实用性的工人阶级形成鲜明对比。在对住房市场持不同态度的背景下，《住房市场更新与社会阶层》探讨了一个难题：机构现在是否正在利用住房市场更新计划以牺牲普通工薪阶层的利益为代价来获取利润。本书反思了这种情况是如何发生的，批判性地审视了当前房地产市场复兴政策的目的，并为希望了解该计划影响的感兴趣的社会科学家提出了方向。
Housing market renewal is one of the most controversial urban policy programmes of recent years. Housing Market Renewal and Social Class critically examines the rationale for housing market renewal: to develop 'high value' housing markets in place of the so-called 'failing markets' of low-cost housing. Whose interests are served by such a programme and who loses out?
Drawing on empirical evidence from Liverpool, the author argues that housing market renewal plays to the interests of the middle classes in viewing the market for houses as a field of social and economic 'opportunities', a stark contrast to a working class who are more concerned with the practicalities of 'dwelling'. Against this background of these differing attitudes to the housing market, Housing Market Renewal and Social Class explores the difficult question of whether institutions are now using the housing market renewal programme to make profits at the expense of ordinary working-class people. Reflecting on how this situation has come about, the book critically examines the purpose of current housing market renewal policies, and suggests directions for interested social scientists wishing to understand the implications of the programme.
