Housing Africa's Urban Poor, Hardback Book

Housing Africa's Urban Poor Hardback

Edited by Philip Amis, Peter Lloyd

Part of the African Seminars: Scholarship from the International African Institute series

Hardback

Description

Originally published in 1990, this book reveals the extent to which petty landlordism is developing not just in the African urban settlements that have sprung up but in government-sponsored low-cost housing estates.

The first part of the book traces African governments' changing responses to urban growth since the 1960s.

The second presents case studies of housing markets and landlord-tenant relations north and south of the Sahara.

The third examines World Bank involvement, and the book ends by considering policy implications.
