SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
The methodology of housing and planning in the developing world has largely been adapted from practice in post-industrial countries. Housing the Poor in the Developing World shows how methods of analysis can be best suited to the local context. This study meets the need to bring together methods of analysis from several disciplines which can be applied to housing. Each method is presented and illustrated with a case study to show how it can be used to inform housing policy in a wide range of countries in all parts of the developing world.
