About this book

This book analyzes the reasons of spontaneous transformation in self-built houses in the context of developing countries. Recognizing Housing Transformation as a natural phenomenon, the book focuses on self-built houses in the city of Dhaka.

The entire book is an ethnographic journey, which expresses unique stories behind houses in transformation.
