Based on experience in community architecture projects over the past 20 years, this book should serve as essential reading for students, practitioners and anyone concerned with creating a better built environment.

Estates of multi-storey housing present some of the most intractable problems for urban policy. Shelter is not enough is an up-to-date evaluation of the issues. Drawing on an analysis of past practice, a 'model framework' is defined which can help to create successful approaches for the regeneration of multi-storey housing.

Intended for students and professionals of architecture, urban design and planning, this guide introduces the reader to the key aspects of housing design, and outlines the discussion about form and planning of urban housing. It features case studies that illustrate the best in high density, sustainable housing design.
