Public housing in the United Kingdom
Public housing in the United Kingdom provided the largest proportion of rented accommodation. This public or social housing was built by local authorities. A council estate is a building complex where a great many council houses and frequently other council dwellings like blocks of flats, four storey maisonnettes, have been built together. There may be other amenities like schools and shops forming a council estate. Council houses were built to supply uncrowded, well-built homes on secure tenancies at reasonable rents to primarily working-class people. Council house development began in the late 19th century and peaked in the mid-20th century, at which time council housing included many large suburban "council estates" and numerous urban developments featuring tower blocks. Many of these developments did not live up to the hopes of their supporters, and now suffer from urban blight.
Since 1979, the role of council housing has been reduced by the introduction of Right to Buy legislation, and a change of emphasis to the development of new social housing by housing associations. Nonetheless, a substantial part of the UK population still lives in council housing. In 2010, about 17% of UK households lived in social housing. Approximately 55% of the country’s social housing stock is owned by local authorities (of which 15% is managed on a day-to-day basis by arms-length management organisations, rather than the authority), and 45% by housing associations. In Scotland, council estates are known as ''schemes''.
==History==
The history of public housing is the history of the housing of the poor. Even in the stable medieval model of landowner and peasant, where the estate workers lived at the landowner whim in a tied cottage, the aged and infirm needed provision from their former employer, the church or the state.
