Review: This study documents Mexican housing according to a three-step approach (Step 1: reduce the need or use of anything. Step 2: Use renewable resources to supply the need. Step 3: Supply the need as efficiently as possible). The aim is to determine possible improvements to the environment that could have been made. There are chapters covering: The approach; Reference dwellings: An analysis of Mexican, Peruvian and Dutch housing; Improving Mexican housing; and Recommendations for new housing in Mexico.
