Taking as its focus the culture-specific nature of place and social development, this book includes 20 selected papers, and is divided into three sections: explanations of people and particular environmental behaviour relations, methods for analysing connections between space and social development, and case studies for Africa, Europe, the Middle East and South East Asia. In more detail, some of the other themes the book examines include: women, housing and development, physical development standards, and tradition, community and change. The view that was overwhelmingly agreed upon was that shaping places for people should not only be in conformity with their individual needs and aspirations, but should also be a means for social and economic progress.
