This book had its origins in my doctoral research at the London
School of Economics. It developed more rapidly than expected thanks
to the good will and collective efforts of various people and
institutions who provided help and support-material, intellectual
and moralthroughout four years at the LSE and two years at Tel Aviv
University. I am most grateful to George Philip and Patrick
Dunleavy, who have patiently read the many drafts and offered their
comments and suggestions at various stages of this work. I would
also like to thank Peter Dawson, who during my early days at the
LSE as a research and MSc student, supervised, advised and above
all encouraged my intentions to carry out research on developing
countries. Henrique Rattner of the Fundacao Getulio Vargas provided
me not only with technical support but also introduced me to the
complex Brazilian bureaucracy. Gabriel Bolaffi, of the Faculty of
Architecture and Urbanism at the University of Sao Paulo, made it
possible for me to gain access to the otherwise restricted public
housing agencies. I also extend my gratitude to the officials at
COHAB/SP, CODESPAULO, INOCOOP and the BNH (in Rio de Janeiro and
Sao Paulo) who spared precious time to be interviewed and supplied
me with published and unpublished documents. The IPT (Sao Paulo
Institute of Technological Research) provided the primary material
on ltaquera and enabled me to use their computing facilities and
process the data. Special thanks are due to Ros Mari Kaupatez. The
friends we made in Sao Paulo, whose welcome and warmth surpassed
all expectations, made a long stay more bearable. This project
could not have been carried out without the moral and financial
support of both my grandfather and my parents, who took a deep
interest in my studies and encouraged me during difficult periods.
A debt of thanks is also owed to the Publication Committee of the
London School of Economics, especially P. C. Davis. Anthony Hall's
comments were very valuable. Thanks are due to the Faculty of
Social Sciences and the Department of Political Science at Tel Aviv
University for financial help in preparing this work for
publication. Finally, this study is dedicated to my wife, Sarah,
who interrupted her studies to accompany me to Brazil and helped me
in ways I cannot adequately acknowledge.
