He has also been a pioneer in addressing crucial issues of housing and urbanization in the Third World , including the proliferation of squatters.

It also contains a reprint of his seminal book The New Landscape (1985), long out of print, on urban development in the Third World .   Correa has been awarded the Gold Medal of the Royal Institute of British Architects, the Aga Khan Award for Architecture, and the Japanese Praemium Imperiale.       Language: English  CHARLES CORREA (1930-2015) played a pivotal role in the shaping of postcolonial architecture in India.
