Shelter Need and Response: Housing, Land and Settlement Policies in Seventeen Third World Nations
This book describes living conditions and housing trends in seventeen nations which contain some three fifths of the Third World's population. In four sections, national experiences in the Arab world, Asia, Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa are examined in detail. This provides a unique international study on how governments are coming to terms with settle- ment problems they often share rapidly growing squatter communities, relatively unsuccessful public housing programmes and a large portion of their people lacking ready access to potable water, basic health care, education and a healthy living environment. The final section analyses the causes of such problems and looks at the extent to which individual governments, given the commitment, can overcome them.
