The rapid political changes in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union have had repercussions for many aspects of the socialist system. Housing policy, always an important part of the socialist agenda, has undergone extensive reforms in light of these recent changes. This has solved some problems but given rise to others. A centrally planned system of resource allocation led to low standards and uneven spread of housing provision, but where countries have moved away from a command economy they have faced a new set of issues as housing markets are transformed.
