Sobre IBD

First published in 1993, this book filled a gap in the literature on housing in the developing world. For many years, self-help settlement and the owner-occupier had commanded the attention of governments and researchers, leaving huge numbers of tenants and sharers invisible. This book put the spotlight on rental and shared housing.
