It conceptualises affordability in rural housing along a spectrum that is interlaced with cultural and social values integral to rural livelihoods at both personal and community level. Developed around four intersecting themes: explaining houses and housing in rural settings; exploring affordability in the context of aspirations and vulnerability; rural development agendas involving housing and communities; and construction for resilience in rural communities, the book provides an overview of some of the little understood and sometimes counter-intuitive best practices on rural affordability and affordable housing that have emerged in developing economies over the last thirty years. Drawing on practice-based evidence this book presents innovative ideas for harnessing rural potential, and empowering rural communities with added affordability and progressive development in the context of housing and improved living standards"-- 0aSmart cities. 0aDwellingsxDesign and constructionxCost effectiveness. 0aHousingxPlanning. 0aCommunity development. 0aRural development.1 aDonovan, Sally,d1953-eauthor.08iOnline version:aDoloi, Hemanta,tAffordable housing for smart villagesdNew York : Routledge, 2020.z9780429200250w(DLC) 2019027780  2ddc  00102ddc406333_338000000000000_DOL70aBMSCAbBMSCAd2023-11-16e10g2427.40l0o333.338 DOLpAR-PG638r2023-11-16 00:00:00v3467.72w2023-11-16yPGzRack No : S-40
