People, Poverty and Shelter: Problems of Self-Help Housing in the Third World

People, Poverty and Shelter (1983) analyses the practical field experience of self-help as a solution to housing problems in the developing world. Focusing on practical, project-level issues, and problems encountered with policy implementation, this important collection examines the experiences of individual countries, from site and service housing in Peru to co-operative housing schemes in Tanzania. How do successful programmes take account of national, historic and cultural factors? How have self-help projects affected or even distorted housing markets to their own detriment?
