SpringerBriefs in Environment, Security, Development and Peace: Special Focus on Zimbabwe

Matamanda, Abraham R.; Chirisa, Innocent; Rammile, Siphokazi; Marais, Mario

The housing and human settlement sector is fast changing, and technology is making it more complex than ever before. With reference to Zimbabwe, a developing country in Southern Africa, the essence of this book is to bring out housing as an issue within the technology debate and practice. The following themes emerge from the 6 chapters in the book:  

• The characterisation and conceptualisation of housing and technology and the nexus of both 

• The complexity of housing challenges and the problems governments face in providing adequate housing, especially for the poor

• Diverse practices in housing construction through the application of different typologies of technology

• Discussion of alternative policy approaches that may guide technology integration in housing development.
