Ultimately, it underscores the universal need for institutional, organizational, and human skills development, as well as the compilation and dissemination of operationally successful examples of participatory partnerships for affordable social housing. This book is a valuable resource for researchers, instructors, practitioners, and students in the fields of urban development, housing, environmental design, land-use planning, public administration, and environmental health engineering.
