Description

Houses, and other spaces and environments in which people spend their time, have a crucial impact on quality of life.

We are increasingly living in multi-cultural cities and communities, and this too significantly affects how we feel about spaces in which we live.

This volume brings together psychologists, architects, designers and planners to discuss issues of housing, space, sustainability and multi-culturalism.

In doing so, the book provides an insightful critical analysis of space, place and the quality of life.

It also addresses the implications of intercultural tension on quality of life and on the way in which people use and interact in a multi-cultural space.

With case studies from Spain, Turkey, Brazil, the UK, the USA and Israel, it discusses issues such as low-cost housing, security, environmental conservation and sustainability, alternative building techniques, cultural diversity and its impact on housing and urban design.
