Housing is a multidisciplinary field that fulfills basic human needs. It includes concepts like houses, settlements, built environments, and communities. National housing policies aim to make housing accessible to all income groups through strategies like increasing affordable land and housing supply, improving existing slums, and mobilizing financial resources. These policies address issues related to land, infrastructure, building materials, techniques, and finance. The goals of Habitat III include creating an integrated housing framework, adopting an inclusive approach, expanding affordable housing, improving housing conditions, and upgrading informal settlements through coordinated efforts across different levels of government.

Housing stands at the center of the New Urban Agenda. Expansion
of housing opportunities will support the achievement of SDG’s
The expected global population increase of 1.18 billion by 2030
combined with the existing housing deficit (currently 880 million
people live in inadequate housing in cities), implies that
approximately two billion people will require housing in 2030.
1. Create an integrated housing framework:
2. Adopt an inclusive approach:
3. Expand affordable housing:
4. Improve housing conditions:

community to achieve a new strategic approach that includes
reforms in five areas:

20. NATIONAL HOUSING POLICY 04GROUP 2 LINKAGES BETWEEN HOUSING POLICY & THE NEW URBAN AGENDA 19GROUP 2
The linkages between housing and social cohesion are critical for
responding to the housing needs of low-income residents, Social Cohesion
integrating refugees, and Ensuring safety.
Governments must have sufficient resources and accountability to provide
housing services. Collaboration between levels of government, along with
civil society and housing developers, will optimize affordable housing
production.
Regulatory constraints on land supply—land allocation practices, density
thresholds , floor-area ratios, and plots sizes—have large implications on the
supply of affordable housing. Expanding housing options in city centers can
limit urban sprawl.
Effective and efficient housing policies can expand employment in the
building sector and increase employment. Housing programs should foster
local economic development through live/work housing options and
neighborhood revitalization. Proper location and siting of housing
programs could improve the functioning of the urban economy and labor
markets.
To build resilience, governments must design programs to reduce the
vulnerability of housing, including enforcing building codes. Efforts to
encourage medium and high-density housing will reduce transportation
costs and air pollution
