This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The research project of which the present study is the end result was initiated in late 1970, while I was affiliated with the Economisch Instituut voor de Bouwnijverheid (Economic Institute for the Construction Indus try), Amsterdam, the Netherlands. This institution, in association with the Urban Development Authority, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, also suppor ted fieldwork in Malaysia from early 1973 to spring 1975. This resulted in a report to the Malaysian government (Wegelin, 1975), which forms the basis of the present study. Improvement and extension of the earlier report to mould the study in its present shape has been made possible by the financial support of the Stichting Wetenschappelijk Onderwijs in Econo mische en Sociale Aspecten van Bouwproductie en Bouwnijverheid (Foun dation for University Education in Economic and Social Aspects of Construction), Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The support of the above institutions is gratefully acknowledged. The study owes much to the pioneering work on low-income housing in developing countries bij Charles Abrams and has further been stimul ated particularly by the contributions of Leland S. Bums and John F.C. Turner in this field. The recent development of comprehensive cost benefit appraisal methods for industrial projects in developing countries by Professor I.M.D. Little and J.A. Mirrlees (OECD) and A.K. Sen, P. Dasgupta and S.A. Marglin (UNIDO) provided a challenge to apply similar methods in the area of low-income housing.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About a billion of the world's population live in slum settlements. The poor housing conditions carry various socio-economic implications on both the affected low-income groups and the society overall. The issue of inadequate affordable housing for low-income groups is prevalent especially in developing nations which are experiencing rapid urbanisation. Low-cost housing has low effective demand, which is unattractive for private housing developers. Thus, the state has to step in and employ measures to rectify the inequities caused by market failures. State regulation is a form of indirect intervention, used to secure market engagement in adequate and proper affordable housing for the urban poor. In Malaysia, 'low-cost housing' is a specific type of housing meant for low-income groups. Since 1970, low-cost housing has been employed as a measure to promote social cohesion among the multiple ethnic groups. Towards this aim, the Malaysian government has implemented various regulations to boost private low-cost housing supply, including (i) the low cost housing quota requirement on new developments, (ii) building standards to control low-cost housing quality and (iii) enforcement and monitoring procedures governing the low-cost housing development process. These regulations have been reported as cost inflationary and quantity restrictive by a World Bank study that adopted econometric modelling as the main methodology. Nevertheless, little insight was provided on how regulations were mediated by various institutions operating within the Malaysian housing market. Low-cost housing forms about 20 per cent of the total housing stock, with the private sector remarkably supplying two-thirds of the low-cost housing stock. This study examines the regulatory context and institutional dynamics that have resulted in the production of approximately 950,000 low-cost houses. The institutional Structure of Provision (SOP) thesis (Ball, 1983, 1986, 1998, 2003b) approach was adopted to frame a three-tier analysis of low-cost housing regulations in the developing region of Terengganu in Malaysia. Terengganu is a rapidly urbanising State that is facing increased low-cost housing demand despite being overlooked in previous Malaysian housing studies. The SOP framework allows an in-depth analysis of how the Federal low-cost housing policy is rolled out at the State-level by examining the regulatory environment, the behaviour of planners and developers and case studies of actual low-cost housing developments. This thesis provides the first comprehensive analysis of the regulatory environment governing the planning and production of low-cost housing in Malaysia. The analyses also identify the institutional structures that have evolved to provide low-cost housing in a previously neglected housing market in Malaysia. The thesis presents the first substantial Malaysian study that explicitly recognises and highlights the role of the State Authority in administering Federal low-cost housing policy. Additionally, the findings strongly suggest that the seemingly opaque set of regulations is tempered by institutional dynamics in the regulatory environment, enabling developers to engage in low-cost housing production. Generally, developers did not show support of deregulation. Rather, both planner and developer interviews emphasised weaknesses in regulatory implementation including communication weakness, technical and support staff deficiencies, political inputs and power play between different agencies. Significantly, developers indicated that they would not provide low-cost housing unless mandated by law.

Book excerpt: Government and Homeownership : The Penang Scenario Addressing the housing needs of the nation is one of the important agendas for developed and developing countries. Previous studies suggested that the government plays a central role in creating, sustaining, and improving the housing system. This book is an outcome of the research that had been carried out to address the critical issues on affordable housing faced by Malaysians that have caused inaccessibility to the house, especially to those in the middle-income group. This book provides understanding and knowledge on current housing issues in Malaysia, specifically focussing on Penang.

Download or read book Integrated Architecture written by Liangyong Wu and published by Edizioni Nuova Cultura. This book was released on 2013-12-01 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Integrated Architecture is both a historical and contemporary work. The book was fi rst published in 1989 by Wu Liangyong, one of contemporary China’s most infl uential architects and theoreticians with the title A General Theory on Architecture. His eminence is also recognised by the international architectural community, above all, the group of architectural and urban planning theoreticians battling for a more decisive reform to the concepts, methodologies and practices presiding over the construction and requalifi cation of the contemporary metropolis. I fi rst met professor Wu Liangyong in 2005 at the Faculty of Architecture at the Tsinghua University of Beijing; his Faculty. Wu Liangyong founded the school in 1949 – at the age of 24 – together with Liang Sicheng, the father of modern Chinese architectural studies. From this moment – more than sixty-seven years ago – professor Liangyong has remained a central fi gure in Beijing’s academic community. He remains a constant source of inspiration, not only national, to education reforms and, above all, theoretical, methodological and operative research into architecture, the city and the territory. He is a rare fi gure, present throughout a lengthy historical period witness the world over to tumultuous upheavals in society and its cities. A period whose most dramatic and exalting manifestations were perhaps to be found in China; a period of war, of hope, of revolutions, of great leaps forward, of presumptions, horrors, errors, new leaps forward and incomprehensible economic growth; of irreversible social and cultural metamorphoses and – what interests us most as architects – of staggering urban growth and territorial transformations. The intellect of this minute and genteel fi gure held fast against the storms of history. The observation of events and the humanist and scientifi c principles of his personal culture continuously nourished an increasingly more effective refl ection on the meaning of architecture in today’s world. He also clearly saw its inextricable ties to the substance of the city and the impossibility to substitute the fi gure of the architect – scientist, humanist and artist. A few years after our meeting, having absorbed direct lessons from Wu’s work as an architect and theoretician, I proposed an Italian translation of an anthology of his writings. The material was to be drawn from his many books and essays on architecture and the city published continuously over the course of his incomparable career. Professor Wu Liangyong responded with a challenge: in lieu of this anthology of texts he proposed a full translation, in Italian and English, of a book published twenty years ago: 1989’s A General Theory on Architecture. Given the pace of cultural debate it would not have been out of place to imagine a book fi rmly sedimented in history. I understood, instead, that it was a milestone in the expression of Wu Liangyong’s ideas; a benchmark that, in all likelihood, served as the starting point for his later theories, even the most recent. Published in other fundamental essays, they range across the vast fi eld of human settlements, touching on all components of the man-made environment (Lucio Valerio Barbera).
