Accelerating housing development schemes

Implementing housing development schemes
Expanding modernized basic housing

Description

Accelerating housing development schemes involves streamlining regulatory processes, mobilizing financial resources, and fostering public-private partnerships to rapidly increase the supply of affordable, quality housing. This strategy targets bottlenecks such as lengthy approvals, land acquisition delays, and funding gaps, aiming to reduce homelessness and overcrowding. By prioritizing efficient project delivery and inclusive planning, it remedies housing shortages and supports sustainable urban growth, directly addressing the urgent needs of underserved populations.

Implementation

This strategy features in the framework of Agenda 21 as formulated at UNCED (Rio de Janeiro, 1992), now coordinated by the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development and implemented through national and local authorities.
