Abstract
One result of the current combination of widespread speculative housing promotion, reduced state provision and volatile regional and sub‐regional employment variations seems to be a growing polarisation between the ability of the housing system to cope with housing needs and demands at a local level. The paper examines the links between housing provision and economic restructuring in three contrasting British sub‐regions and argues that there are considerable differences in the type of housing problems experienced, together with greater variety in the responses adopted.
