The Affordable City: Strategies for Putting Housing Within Reach (and Keeping it There)

The Affordable City is a comprehensive guide to addressing the twin crises of high housing costs and household instability in US cities.

Written by urban planner and policy expert Shane Phillips, this book offers more than 50 policy recommendations for effectively tackling these issues.

The author argues that supporting both tenant protections and housing abundance is essential for addressing the housing crisis, and provides a set of principles and general recommendations to guide local action.

The book is organized into three sections: Supply, Stability, and Subsidy.

Phillips makes a compelling moral and economic case for why each is essential and provides recommendations for how they can work together.

Whether you're a professional or advocate working to improve affordability and increase community resilience, The Affordable City is an essential tool for your efforts.
