About the Author :
Michal Lyons is an architect planner and urban geographer with research informed by a decade of work in the housing field in several countries. Until recently, Lyons managed World Jewish Aid, in sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia and Eastern Europe, and consults widely for NGOs, INGOs, multilaterals, and the editorial boards of several academic journals. Theo Schilderman is a Senior Researcher at the Building and Social Housing Foundation, UK. He is an architect with over 40 years' experience of low-cost housing and reconstruction in developing countries.

Review :
"Experience has shown that participatory, people-centred housing reconstruction is far more effective that top-down, institutional delivery. However, these processes are more complex, and widely believed to be impractical for large-scale programmes. This important book demonstrates definitively that this assumption does not hold."--David Simon, Professor of Development Geography "The breadth of contributions provides considerable material for readers seeking to understand and support participatory and integrated approaches for reconstruction."--Diana Mitlin, University of Manchester and Senior Research Associate "The timely message of this book is that participation in housing reconstruction after disaster gives a more sustainable result."--Judith Eversley, International Affairs Office
