This volume is a benchmark in the interplay among data, research, theory mad policy in Third World housing. In this volume the authors present a collaboration between the 1st and 3rd world, and provide a systematic series of case studies of 3rd world housing in 16 countries ranging from China and Brazil to Cuba and Zambia. With this standardized database and the trends it presents, this volume lays the basis for further transformation of perspectives on housing poverty in the third world.
