The global increase in the number of slums calls for policies which improve the conditions of the urban poor; sustainably. This volume provides an extensive overview of current housing policies in Asia; Africa and Latin America and presents the facts and trends of recent housing policies. The chapters provide ideas and tools for pro-poor interventions with respect to the provision of land for housing; building materials; labour; participation and finance. The book looks at the role of the various stakeholders involved in such interventions; including national and local governments; private sector organisations; NGOs and Community-based Organisations.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. a bit too BlobbyBy WumpshireA clear art style; that is readable but the story falls flat. The print quality is a bit cheap too. I suppose thats the idea; a punk rock aesthetic; no real direction and a bit predictable. Its like an obscure 7 inch record you listen to twice. After finishing I thought I probably wont buy Blobby Boys 2; but will certainly hold onto for some color and ink inspiration. Worth the $8 though; and I can see the artist teaming up with a writer to make something more trashy; or go the other way and give it more depth. I give it two bags of popcorn and only 1 soft drink2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Not worth even $5By scott harrisThe art style is cool and thats about it. Theres no plot and not in a fun way. Its just pure laziness on the authors plot. Forgettable characters and ambiguous; gratuitous use of nondescript imaginary drugs to appeal to the VICE crowd. Do yourself a favor and buy Simon Hanselmanns Megahex instead.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Four StarsBy Krista GarnerIt was pretty fine.
