Description
Housing in Developing Cities: Experience and Lessons explores how governments have intervened in urban housing markets to support low-income households. Since the mid-twentieth century, state agencies have employed various policy alternatives, including public sector entry into the market, direct construction of public housing, financial supports for private producers and consumers, and social programmes that enable affordable housing. These strategies range from conventional public housing to non-conventional approaches that combine elements of both. The book concludes by reviewing the evolution of public housing policies at the start of the 21st century and reflects on how 'public housing' and 'social housing' can be combined in a partnership paradigm for the future. By examining these policy alternatives, Housing in Developing Cities provides valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities facing urban housing markets in developing cities.
