First published in 1999, this book consists of in-depth family case
studies from Africa, Asia and South America. The purpose of the
book is to give a clear understanding of the physical and
non-physical structures in bottom-up housing approaches. Physical
structures include design aspects, materials, infrastructure and
construction methods and stages. Non-physical structures include
finance sources, participation and decision processes. All these
elements present a challenging task for academics, research, policy
makers and non-governmental organizations when intervening in
bottom-up housing approaches. The book consists of four sections.
Section I is an overview of conceptual issues and cross-national
studies. Section II through IV are composed of case studies and
fieldwork experiences from Africa, Asia (including the Middle East)
and South America.
