Our firm is involved in low cost housing projects throughout South Africa.
Current legislation and policy measures make provision for specfic housing only: -
Sometimes more than one room is added, or the community are offered the opportunity to decide on an external (or no) toilet, and two internal rooms.
I would be interested in any case studies or examples where alternative housing types have been utilised effectively within legislative and policy constraints (in other words not just theoretical - there are plenty of those).
Thanks
