Book excerpt: "National Experiences with Shelter Delivery for the Poorest Groups (1994) deals with the problems encountered by the poor in their struggle to find shelter. Based on examples from India, Indonesia and Mexico (and to some extent Nigeria) this report by the United Nations Centre for Human Settlements focuses on how current shelter policies are leaving the urban poor out of the shelter delivery process, and provides descriptions of successful projects of shelter improvement. The report found that the implementation of the shelter policies in the case studies has not been a total success. Legal restrictions and building regulations have, for instance, not been reformed to any substantial degree, and the availability of affordable and relevant building materials for the poor has not been significantly improved. This report will be of interest to those planners and policy makers hoping to learn from case study initiatives in housing the urban poor."--UN-HABITAT.
