27、anaged in the context of a rapidly changing social, economic and political environment.1.2ObjectivesThe course is designed for students who have an interest in the operation and management of the housing system and how housing management in the public and private sector works in a changing environme
28、nt. It illustrates how the theories and techniques students have acquired from other courses in the programme can be employed in the analysis of the operations of the housing system. The operation and development of housing governance will be examined and the institutional and organisation adaptatio
29、n of housing systems in a changing socio-economic environment will be explored. The course will also attempt to appraise the theories and techniques of housing management in the light of the local socio-political context as well as an in-depth examination of current issues in housing governance and

35、udit culture” / ISO practice on professional autonomy.2.4Comparing housing systems Comparison will be made between Hong Kong and a few housing systems with similar background, for instance, the UK and Singapore so as to alert students of the socio-economic, political as well as cultural factors that
36、 contribute to the similarities and differences between the systems. The concept of globalisation and welfare regime theory would be employed as an illustrative analytic tool.2.5Issues and debates in managing housing systems Policy makers and practitioners will be invited as guest speakers to enligh
