The progressive growth of the dwelling and its modification over time, in order to satisfy further habitability needs of its inhabitants, became better adapted tools to the economic reality of a large segment of low-income population. Besides, the participative-planning model, implemented in a smaller scale, through collaborative work between NGO’s and middle size groups of dwellers, eases | |||||||||||||||||
