- Abstract
- The report, in three volumes, is the result of a study which investigated the hypothesis that, if adequate performance standards for low-cost housing are developed; and if they are broadly used, an important and fundamental way will be opened to accommodate the introduction of cost-reducing innovations into the design of low-cost housing. Volume 1 contains the main body of discussion and recommendations.
