Throughout the world there is an increasing movement of populations into urban areas and cities. As a result the demographic, economic, social and cultural characteristics of urban areas are changing, particularly in countries undergoing rapid urbanization. This book explores the different approaches to this internationally within the fields of housing and urban planning with a particular focus on developing countries. Concepts such as "informal settlements" ,"shelter" and "housing deficit" are explained. The impact of rapid urbanization and associated globalization on land use and housing is described and analyzed with reference to the related issues of poverty, health and the environment.
The authors examine the evolving relationship between development strategies and urban planning using a series of international case studies of planning and housing in Latin America; Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. Particular consideration is given to how the discourse of "sustainability" is used within thecontext of continuing urbanization, policy and practice. The theoretical issues underpinning "sustainability" as a concept are outlined, and their implications for urban development in terms of both the "green" and "brown" agendas are described.
Planning and Housing in Developing Countries provides an accessible introduction to the issues as well as enhancing current theoretical debates. It explores the theories in the fields of housing and planning and examines how this relates to the practical application with a focus on developing countries. The book includes an annotated bibliography as a useful study tool for students in this area.
