Initially published in 1981, this book examines the problems of
housing provision for the urban poor in developing countries,
within the context of the development process as a whole. The
investigation concentrates on the political economy of housing
investment and illustrates how programmes and policies are often
determined by broader development issues. Commencing with a
discussion of urban growth in the Third World, the author then
provides a general discussion on housing provision within
contemporary development planning in the Third World. Four main
types of accommodation - government construction, private sector,
squatter housing and slum - are examined in terms of their
contemporary and potential roles in meeting low cost housing needs.
Drawing on evidence from a number of Asian countries, the study
argues that the real needs of the urban poor are not being met, and
that other political and economic objectives, set by the
established elites of society, predominate.
