26. • Final remarks

27. Final remarks
 Tragedies can not always be predicted but
prevention…
 Coordinated actions/solutions could speed
up the reconstruction process.
 Prefabrication in-situ or kits coming from
abroad can certainly reduce the housing
problems.

28. Final remarks
 Loss of land triggers property problems.
 Overcrowding appears as one the most
complicated items as it promotes
insalubrities.
 Transitory solutions become unfortunately
permanent ones in some cases.
