About the Book
Slums and Informal Settlements in Developing Countries by Brian C. Aldrich provides an insightful and comprehensive study on the challenges of urban housing for the poor. With over half of the world’s population now living in urban areas, the rapid pace of urbanization, particularly in developing countries, has led to the rise of slums and informal settlements that lack basic human necessities.
Key highlights include:
-
Examination of global case studies illustrating the extent of slum development and various mitigation efforts
-
Analysis of the social and structural transformation in urban housing policies and their impact on the poor
-
Discussion on the World Bank’s policy shift towards privatization of housing for low-income groups
-
Comparative perspective on strategies and cultural approaches to housing across multiple developing countries
The book not only sheds light on the deep inequalities and deprivation in urban settlements but also explores sustainable housing solutions that can significantly improve the living standards of the urban poor. This makes it an essential resource for sociologists, urban planners, poverty researchers, and development studies scholars.
