Affordable Housing in the Urban Global South

The global increase in the number of slums calls for policies that improve the conditions of the urban poor, sustainably. This volume provides an extensive overview of current affordable 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 concerning the provision of land for housing, building materials, labor, participation, and finance. The book looks at the role of the various stakeholders involved in such interventions, including national and local governments, private sector organizations, NGOs, and community-based organizations.
