Review :
"In the complex world of post-disaster housing reconstruction, this excellent book addresses an important and often-overlooked gap: how we learn from past projects to inform future actions."--David Sanderson, Professor, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim "Which post-disaster reconstruction and recovery programmes have been truly successful? What are the critical elements that turn humanitarian shelter assistance into sustainable homes and communities? This much-needed publication provides the missing longer term analysis of what works and what does not, valuably informing the response to future disasters."--Graham Saunders, Head, Shelter and Settlements, International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies "Still Standing?, /I> fills a major gap in the literature on housing reconstruction following disasters. The text examines five critical issues that surround the subject: 'user satisfaction', 'beneficiary targeting', 'replication by users', 'technical performance' and 'livelihood generation'. Thus it is essential reading for all involved in holistic recovery policy and practice, since it is crammed full of practical advice and rich case studies from international leaders in the field."--Ian Davis, Visiting Professor in Disaster Risk Managment in Copenhagen, Kyoto, Lund and Oxford Brookes Universities
