Abstract
The paper argues that low income housing is socially produced in different social contexts and examines the socio economic issues in the social production of low income housing. It also presents part of the result of a case study in Nigeria to explain and understand housing production by low income people contrary to their marginalization and exclusion.The paper concludes that if policy is to enhance housing solution for the majority; knowledge of how low income people house themselves and understanding their underlying motivation for house ownership in different social contexts is critical.
