Opis

Over three-quarters of the world's population lives in cities where the need for affordable urban housing of good design is vital to the quality of urban living. It is just as important in accommodating the migrant from rural areas in developing countries as it is in reversing the outward flow to the countryside by people in western countries.The authors look at a wide variety of solutions to these problems. Understanding the important design principles is a basic requirement of sustainable housing in the future. The text includes technical drawings, photographs and basic data about the world's most influential housing schemes, and international case studies demonstrate a range of working solutions.
