Housing is a fundamental human need but remains one of the most difficult things for disadvantaged people to obtain. Participatory approaches to accessing housing are often complicated and inconsistent and need to be re-examined. The book explores three cases in the Philippines, revealing how people understand and experience participatory housing as both empowering and conflicting. Using an organisational communication lens, Koschmann rethinks civil society collaboration in housing resettlement and relocation, proposing a new approach to participation for informal settlement communities in the Global South. The book is essential reading for researchers, students and practitioners in organisational communication, housing and development.
