The contents of this book are primarily concerned with the philosophy of the SAR's founding John Habraken (b. 1923), and in particular his new approach to the self-image, professional and social status of the designer, and the consequences for the role and input of the resident.This is the first time that the intellectual heritage of the SAR has been brought together in book form and considered within a broader international perspective.'Housing for the Millions' is especially important given the renewed interest evident today among investors, goverments, building companies and industry in a building methodology based on bi-lateral decision-making, flexibility and industrialisation.
