The Bill of Rights for Housing in the Third World: Charles Correa’s Manifesto for Housing the Masses

Description

This talk de-centres and expands this debate on habitat beyond its typically limited geography and timeframe by focusing on its development through an understudied manifesto written from the context of the Global South: Charles Correa’s 1985 ‘Bill of Rights for Housing in the Third World’. It also makes a case for revisiting Correa’s work and writings that advocate for an approach to housing that blurs the dichotomies between the formal and informal and top-down and bottom-up practices.
