Originally published in 1985, this book is concerned with the
housing and service needs of the poor in Latin America and how they
are articulated and satisfied. It examines the aims and
implementation of government policies towards low-income housing
dwellers and tries to relate those policies to the wider interests
of the state. It discusses how the poor perceive the constraints on
barrio servicing and improvement, their involvement in community
organisations and the role the community and its leaders play in
influencing state action. Since housing and servicing issues
directly impinge on the interests of politicians, bureaucrats,
landowners and real-estate developers, as well as on those of the
poor, patterns of provision mirror closely the nature of the
relationships between the poor and the wider urban society. The
main theme of this book is thus the allocation of resources within
urban society and the operation of political and administrative
power at city level. The book will interest not only those
concerned with housing and planning but also those who wish to
understand social and economic policies towards the poor in most
kinds of Third World city.
