  In 12 country case studies the book investigates the housing policies of a wide range of socialist Third World countries. The socialist characteristics used to select countries for inclusion are discussed in the introductory chapters. The case study chapters analyze the housing situation in particular countries by examining national development and housing; land ownership; centralized planning and administration - the effective mobilization of local resources; housing production and meeting targets; and priorities for housing allocation. Each chapter is written by a country specialist and the book is aimed at academics and researchers in the fields of geography, development studies, sociology and planning in a developing world context.
