Universally, the production, maintenance and management of housing
have been, and continue to be, market-based activities.
Nevertheless, since the mid-twentieth century virtually all
governments, socialist and liberal alike, have perceived the need
to intervene in urban housing markets in support of low-income
households who are denied access to the established (private
sector) housing market by their lack of financial resources.
Housing in Developing Cities examines the range of strategic policy
alternatives that have been employed by state housing agencies to
this end. They range from public sector entry into the urban
housing market through the direct construction of ('conventional')
'public housing' that is let or transferred to low-income
beneficiaries at sub-market rates, to the provision of financial
supports (subsidies) and non-financial incentives to private sector
producers and consumers of urban housing, and to the administration
of ('non-conventional') programmes of social, technical and
legislative supports that enable the production, maintenance and
management of socially acceptable housing at prices and costs that
are affordable to low-income urban households and communities. It
concludes with a brief review of the direction that public housing
policies have been taking at the start of the 21st century and
reflects on 'where next', making a distinction between 'public
housing' and 'social housing' strategies and how they can be
combined in a 'partnership' paradigm for the 21st century.
