Housing Without Houses: Participation, Flexibility, Enablement

This book presents a wide range of innovative ideas and practical methods for housing, together with illustrative examples and actual projects. Its methods are targeted to housing production in places where resources are scarce, demand is high, urgency is acute, and where change and uncertainty are a way of life. The book shows that under these conditions, efficient practice depends on methods that promote rather than hinder local action and are based on spontaneity, improvization and incremental development.
