Housing by People: Towards Autonomy in Building Environments (Ideas in Progress) Paperback – January 8, 1976

This should be read by every architect and city planner.

Good

Informative with good examples and historical context, an at times overly pessimistic outlook, critically written and for the most-part much of the commentary is still very relevant despite the date of publication.

Easy to read and gives a rounded understanding into Turners argument. good book for studying and for leisure reading, essential reading when looking at counter arguments for self-build schemes in developing countries. discussed both rural and urban situations.
