Title: Low income housing in Zimbabwe
Description: The provision of urban shelter is an important basic need to be met in any country.  However, this provision is a complex process involving issues not only of providing physical shelter in adequate quantities to house the population but also of providing appropriate shelter types within a total urban environment i.e. shelters that are capable of meeting diverse physical, economic and social needs of households.  Compounding these multiple concerns is the additional challenge of how to provide sufficient, appropriate shelter types at levels taht are affordable by all, particularly the urban poor.
