Book excerpt: The need for adequate shelter and increased employment opportunities worldwide has been intensified by rapid growth in population, poverty and unemployment, especially in the urban areas of developing countries. Yet, investment in housing has declined significantly. It is therefore essential, as emphasized by the Global Strategy for Shelter to the Year 2000 and by Agenda 21 of the United Nations' conference on Environment and Development, for governments to adopt realistic and flexible housing policies, and to encourage the development of an efficient and sustainable construction industry.; Th.

Download or read book Shelter Settlement Development written by Lloyd Rodwin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-03-29 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1987, Shelter, Settlement & Development presents a comprehensive and authoritative reappraisal of shelter, settlement and development policies and programs in third world countries. Drawing on the considerable research and advisory experience of an internationally distinguished group of contributors, it introduces new ideas on many themes such as spatial strategies, land policy, shanty town settlements, infrastructure standards and construction obstacles, intricacies of housing finance and household behaviour and preferences. Each facet of the study sums up what can be inferred from past experience: what worked and what did not, and why; what ideas are in currency; what policy choices lie ahead; and most important of all, what further changes are needed to achieve feasible and effective solutions, not quick fixes, or one-shot remedies. There is a special focus on the necessary learning processes so that whatever action is taken is likely to be self-correcting in the light of subsequent experience, reflection and changing circumstances. This book is an essential read for scholars and researchers of development studies, urban studies and planning, and public policy.
Download or read book The Creation of Shelter written by Nora Richter Greer and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American Institute of Architects (AIA) became involved in the problem of homelessness through the establishment of the Search for Shelter program, a collaboration with several other architectural organizations. The program, led by the AIA Housing Committee, sought solutions to the housing crisis through a series of workshops held around the country in 1987. This report gathers various responses from these first workshops. The first part of the report, comprised of 27 case studies, presents projects, solutions, and strategies resulting from these workshops, including: emergency shelter; transitional shelter; single room occupancy (SRO) units; other long-term housing; rural, low-cost housing; housing for the mentally ill; other special housing; an area-wide survey of shelter needs; a campaign to raise public awareness; a community center for the homeless; criteria to determine where to expand shelter facilities; a design competition. Each case study includes project descriptions, contacts, and sponsors and participants. The second part of the report on the creation of shelter, includes the following sections: (1) "No Place to Call Home"; (2) "Partnerships for Housing"; (3) "The Search for Shelter;" (4) "Low-Cost Housing Redefined"; and (5) "A Commitment to Caring." A bibliography of 26 references is appended, as well as case studies indexes by city and subject. (AF)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This authoritative guide promotes safe, healthy andnon-exploitative working conditions for the construction industry.It combines theoretical analysis and case-studies from around theworld, offering recommendations for best practice. The book results from a project funded by the GenevaInternational Academic Network, with staff from the InternationalLabour Office and the University of Geneva. It presents anddiscusses the challenges and potential of local authorities topromote decent work in construction. Existing literature on decent work focuses mainly on the rolesand responsibilities of actors in the private sector but thecontribution of the public sector should not be ignored. Localauthorities play a crucial role in economic development through arange of policies and programmes in the construction sector andrelated services. Labour Conditions for Construction: decent work, buildingcities & the role of local authorities includes amethodology that combines quantitative and qualitative information.It defines and validates a set of criteria to evaluate the capacityof local authorities, combining criteria about decent work, theconstruction sector and the policies and programmes of the localauthority in each case study city. The book fills an important gap in focussing on the role oflocal authorities in creating and promoting decent work and will beof interest to managers and policy-makers in construction, healthand safety and labour relations as well as to researchers andstudents in construction management.
Download or read book Extending Themselves written by A. Graham Tipple and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many countries have large stocks of government-built housing which, for various reasons, are in poor physical conditions and/or do not conform to the expectations of occupants. The occupants of such housing frequently make unauthorized but quite considerable changes and extensions (transformations) to their dwellings. This book examines user-initiated transformations to government-built housing in Bangladesh, Egypt, Ghana and Zimbabwe, surveyed in a research program sponsored by the UK Department for International Development. The 1600 dwellings surveyed show how relatively low-income households are capable of supplying new rooms and services both to improve their own housing conditions and to supply rental rooms or accommodation for family members living rent-free. The new construction is often of at least as good quality as the original structures and sometime envelopes the original in a new skin. It is clear that transformation adds accommodation and services to existing housing, upgrades the housing stock, and creates variety out of uniformity. The study leads to policy suggestions to encourage transformations for the renewal of government housing. These include the provision of loan finance; the encouragement of co-operation between neighbors, especially in multi-storey housing; and the planned colonization of open space next to the dwellings where plots are not provided. For new housing, it is clear that designs for new areas are only the beginning of an on-going development process rather than a blueprint for once-for-all development.

Book excerpt: This book is a much-needed account, with numerous detailed examples, of the role of housing in economic growth and development by an author in a unique position to understand its importance and the practical measures for delivering that growth. While the linkages between housing and the macroeconomic environment in developed countries has been studied, the case of developing and transitional countries has been mostly overlooked. The author establishes these linkages with great clarity, supported by detailed case studies chosen to reflect regional diversity as well as differences in socio-economic development and political systems. On the basis of this analysis, the author goes on to develop specific policies and practices to enable governments to enhance the contribution of housing in economic growth.
