The book provides a comparative review of housing policy reforms in
the context of transition to democracy and market-based economy in
27 countries. Recognizing the complexity of housing systems, it
focuses on seven important housing policy domains critical for the
efficient performance of housing systems. The domains reviewed are:
i) strengthening political support for housing reforms; ii)
establishing reliable and effective housing institutions; iii)
developing effective land administration and land management; iv)
mobilizing housing finance; v) facilitating improvement in housing
quality; vi) sustaining housing investment and production; and vii)
enabling access to affordable housing and tenure choice. On the
basis of comparative, evidence-based research the book suggests
that better policy environment and the use of well designed policy
instruments-regulatory, fiscal and financial-can facilitate better
performance of the housing system. Strategic policy recommendations
address the most important challenges in the region-the growing
shortage of affordable housing, deterioration of the existing
multi-apartment stock and the proliferation of informal
settlements.
