Book excerpt: This book focuses on the dynamics of residential satisfaction in low income city neighbourhoods in post-apartheid South Africa. There is well documented evidence in post-apartheid South Africa that highlights the discontent of low-income city residents with their residences. The evidence includes violent service delivery protests, backlogs in services, overcrowding and mono-functional low-income settlements that are located relatively far from socio-economic opportunities. Therefore, in South Africa’s academic and professional planning circles there is need to add insights to the dynamics of residential satisfaction in low income city neighbourhoods. With this volume, the editor and the contributors sought to add case based and theoretically grounded literature to the dynamics of residential satisfaction in South Africa’s low income neighborhoods. The objective is to guide appropriately targeted human settlement interventions that meet beneficiaries’ housing needs and aspirations.. Musvoto, Godfrey. (2023).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book utilizes new data to thoroughly analyze the main factors currently shaping the African housing market. Some of these factors include the supply and demand for housing finance, land tenure security issues, construction cost conundrum, infrastructure provision, and low-cost housing alternatives. Through detailed analysis, the authors investigate the political economy surrounding the continent’s housing market and the constraints that behind-the-scenes policy makers need to address in their attempts to provide affordable housing for the majority in need. With Africa’s urban population growing rapidly, this study highlights how broad demographic shifts and rapid urbanization are placing enormous pressure on the limited infrastructure in many cities and stretching the economic and social fabric of municipalities to their breaking point. But beyond providing a snapshot of the present conditions of the African housing market, the book offers recommendations and actionable measures for policy makers and other stakeholders on how best to provide affordable housing and alleviate Africa’s housing deficit. This work will be of particular interest to practitioners, non-governmental organizations, private sector actors, students and researchers of economic policy, international development, and urban development.

Download or read book The Challenge of Slums written by United Nations Human Settlements Programme and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-05-23 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Challenge of Slums presents the first global assessment of slums, emphasizing their problems and prospects. Using a newly formulated operational definition of slums, it presents estimates of the number of urban slum dwellers and examines the factors at all level, from local to global, that underlie the formation of slums as well as their social, spatial and economic characteristics and dynamics. It goes on to evaluate the principal policy responses to the slum challenge of the last few decades. From this assessment, the immensity of the challenges that slums pose is clear. Almost 1 billion people live in slums, the majority in the developing world where over 40 per cent of the urban population are slum dwellers. The number is growing and will continue to increase unless there is serious and concerted action by municipal authorities, governments, civil society and the international community. This report points the way forward and identifies the most promising approaches to achieving the United Nations Millennium Declaration targets for improving the lives of slum dwellers by scaling up participatory slum upgrading and poverty reduction programmes. The Global Report on Human Settlements is the most authoritative and up-to-date assessment of conditions and trends in the world's cities. Written in clear language and supported by informative graphics, case studies and extensive statistical data, it will be an essential tool and reference for researchers, academics, planners, public authorities and civil society organizations around the world.
Download or read book The Roles of Gender Class Housing and Social Integration on Residential Satisfaction and Mobility in Post apartheid Cape Town South Africa written by Sangeeta Parashar and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Households experiencing residential satisfaction are joint headed, homeowners residing at their current dwelling for a long duration, well integrated within the community, and possessing low intraurban mobility, high percent of dependents, low crowding, high incomes, and low percent of adults employed. Households satisfied with their community are home renters residing at their current dwelling for a short time and who have experienced downward residential mobility; they have high incomes, low percent of employed adults, and are socially integrated. Finally, mobility plans are positively shaped by high intraurban mobility, homeownership, low housing type mobility, high crowding, residential improvements, high level of occupational skill, high percent of adults employed, low membership in organizations, and dissatisfaction with housing and community. Explanations for these results are advanced, and implications and policy issues are discussed.

Book excerpt: This paper considers why the housing subsidy programme in South Africa has had so little impact on poverty reduction despite its scale and generous funding. It discusses how this was linked to the government's conception of housing, the institutions involved and who controlled funding flows for housing. Most government funding went to contractors to build new units “for the poor”; it was assumed that these would replace homes in informal settlements that the poor developed themselves. Despite statements about the government's commitment to the People's Housing Process (PHP), informal settlements were only seen in negative terms and there was no support for incremental upgrading and very little support for low-income households to build their own homes. Meanwhile, the contractor-built houses were usually too small, of poor quality and in locations far from livelihoods and services. The paper ends with suggestions for how the formal institutions of government can learn to support and work with the poor. The incremental approaches of the poor to their own housing and livelihoods can serve as an alternative first principle for conceiving of the challenge of human settlements policy and practice. Furthermore, funding flows and their associated institutions should support people-centred development and institutionalize systems that make the informed participation of residents of informal settlements a pre-condition for state support.
Download or read book Urban Resettlements in the Global South written by Raffael Beier and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-09 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urban Resettlements in the Global South provides new perspectives on resettlement through an urban studies lens. To date, resettlement has been theorised through development studies and refugee studies, but urban resettlement is also a major dimension of urban development in the Global South and may help to rethink contemporary urban dynamics between spectacular new town developments and rising incidences of eviction and displacement. Conceptualising resettlement as a binding notion between production/regeneration and destruction/demolition of urban space helps to illuminate interdependencies and to underline significant ambiguities within affected people’s perspectives towards resettlement projects. This volume will offer an interesting selection of ten different case studies with rich empirical data from Latin America, North and Sub-Saharan Africa, and Asia, focused on each stage of resettlement (before, during, after relocation) through different timescales. By offering a frame for analysing and rethinking resettlement within urban studies, it will support any scholar or expert dealing with resettlement, displacement, and housing in an urban context, seeking to improve housing and planning policies in and for the city.
