Publisher's Synopsis
In most Third World countries, the informal sector constitutes a significant component of the urban economy, contributing various types of supportive services and productive activities. Yet linkages between urban housing, income-generating activities, employment and income flows in low income communities are not well understood and are seldom incorporated in the human settlement policies and projects.;With a view to developing new insights in relation to the problems of low income housing in their broader context, the Human Settlement Management Institute of HUDCO (Housing and Urban Development Corporation) in collaboration with the Institute for Housing Studies, Rotterdam, organized a five-day International Seminar in New Delhi on "Income and Housing in Third World Development".
