The housing and human settlement sector is fast changing, and
technology is making it more complex than ever before. With
reference to Zimbabwe, a developing country in Southern Africa, the
essence of this book is to bring out housing as an issue within the
technology debate and practice. The following themes emerge from
the 6 chapters in the book: * The characterisation and
conceptualisation of housing and technology and the nexus of both *
The complexity of housing challenges and the problems governments
face in providing adequate housing, especially for the poor *
Diverse practices in housing construction through the application
of different typologies of technology * Assessment of the
feasibility of technologies in housing development in Zimbabwe by
mirroring them against global experiences. * Discussion of
alternative policy approaches that may guide technology integration
in housing development. This book will excite scholars and
practitioners in urban and development studies, construction
project management, urban sociology, geography, real estate
together with policymakers and government officials.
