First published in 1987, Shelter, Settlement & Development offers a comprehensive and authoritative reassessment of shelter, settlement, and development policies and programs in third-world countries. Drawing on the extensive research and advisory expertise of an internationally renowned group of contributors, it introduces novel ideas on various themes, including spatial strategies, land policy, shanty town settlements, infrastructure standards, construction obstacles, intricacies of housing finance, and household behavior and preferences. Each aspect of the study summarizes what can be inferred from past experience: what worked and what did not, and why; what ideas are in vogue; what policy choices lie ahead; and, most importantly, what further changes are needed to achieve feasible and effective solutions, not quick fixes or one-shot remedies. A special emphasis is placed on the necessary learning processes to ensure that any action taken is likely to be self-correcting in the light of subsequent experience, reflection, and changing circumstances. This book is a must-read for scholars and researchers in development studies, urban studies, and planning, as well as public policy.
