To tackle the paucity of adequate housing in the Muslim World, Strategic Rebuilding and Affordable Housing in the Muslim World brings together a cohort of essays that deal with the the latest approaches, policy discussions, attendant research methodologies and recommendations. The volume's multidisciplinary contributors- academics, practitioners, architects, planners, researchers, urbanists, economists-offer valuable insights and critical analysis on strategic rebuilding of affordable and adequate housing, as well as the continuous improvement of living conditions. Each chapter broadens our understanding of the 'house' as a source of stability and security for individuals or families because one's house is the center of emotional life, with its ability to provide serenity, safety, and self-worth. Therefore, weaving the many aspects of this argument together the contributors of this volume purport a point of view that is carefully well-thought-out to expand the focus from just addressing individual and family needs to looking at the wider community benefits. Furthermore, adequate housing will increasingly become the focus of re-settlement, urban renewal and re-investment, primarily to deal with the homeless conditions that already exist-the influx of refugees and internally displaced people (IDP's) as the result of natural disasters (earthquakes and floods) and the collateral damage caused by war.

A unique and daring collection of homes and the stories of those who have changed their lives by changing their surroundings, from YouTube sensation Kirsten Dirksen and Nicolás Boullosa of @kirstendirksen / faircompaniesFor most people, the search for a home involves setting a budget, finding a place, then filling rooms with stuff. But Kirsten Dirksen and Nicolás Boullosa believe the search for a home is a search for meaning, and that the right dwelling can set the direction for one's life. Fifteen years ago, armed with a camera and limitless curiosity, they set out across the globe to prove their theory and to challenge traditional assumptions about what makes a home.
