Towards a Philosophical Evaluation of Housing for All in BRICS Economies. 520 $a This book is a concise treatise of the alternative paradigms used in BRICS countries to tackle urban housing shortages. There are a number of alternative methods for meeting these shortages which BRICS countries have adopted. These alternatives may agree in terms of desired outcome, but when it comes to approach, mechanics and scope, they are entirely divergent. By focusing on the political economy and the international structure of each BRICS country, these perspectives present alternative and often conflicting approaches to the attainment of better housing. Development Paradigms for Urban Housing in BRICS Countries explores the various political, economic, institutional and cultural factors that have shaped the housing outcomes in BRICS countries that we see today. The book uses a framework which allows comparison between Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, whilst recognizing the differences in the development path that each of these countries has taken. 650 0 $a Housing $z BRIC countries. 650 0 $a Paradigms (Social sciences) $z BRIC countries. 650 0 $a Housing development $z BRIC countries. 700 1 $a Rao, Jyoti, $e author. 700 1 $a Day, Jennifer $c (Urban planner), $e author. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20170203032348.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A3DCBE20E9E711E69A6025A3DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
