Originally published in 1980, this book was written by consultants
in urban development with wide experience in the developing world
and is a source book aimed at advisers (often from developed
countries) who assist with urban planning matters on behalf of
multi-lateral agencies such as the World Bank. It presents a style
of consultancy which accepts that not all the problems of
settlement planning in developing countries can be solved by the
transfer of Western methods. Although the book concentrates on the
techniques and methods which have been found to be effective in the
field, it also argues for a new philosophy of consultancy, in which
consultants work with local staff and using the ingenuity and
spirit of enterprise among the communities themselves.
