9. Doctoral research, PhD en aménagement, Université de Montréal, Canada, 2004
This doctorate work explores various processes of the post-disaster housing reconstruction projects in
developing countries. By doing this, the research recognizes that strategic planning (that goes beyond the
project-specific decisions) coupled with organizational integration and differentiation are fundamental aspects
to attain the objectives of sustainable housing reconstruction. The research findings challenge the traditional
approaches to post-disaster reconstruction by demonstrating that the success of the projects does not
depend of community participation (as it has been widely accepted since the 1980s).
