Abstract A new convention of ‘self‐help housing’ has become established over the past 20 years. However, a close examination of the literature shows that this approach is not widely implemented, but remains largely at the level of showcase projects; moreover the lowest income groups are usually not the principal beneficiaries of sites‐and‐service schemes. The literature gives evidence of powerful political, administrative and economic interests against the large‐scale legal delivery of sites‐and‐services, and in favour of the continued dependence of the poor on illegal access.
