3. A house is a shelter for rest, safety, and comfort; and for protection
from enemies and vagaries of climate.
Housing is a physical commodity, which includes other than dwellings,
various utility facilities and services such as water supply, electricity,
sanitation, and access provision. Again, housing is not only looked upon as
a physical phenomenon, but emphasis is also given on its economic and
socio-cultural aspects. Safety and comfort are the basic essentials for
housing.

4. CHARACTERISTICS OF HOUSING
• regarded as a salable commodity
• a composite social goods and not produced or consumed piecemeal
• structure of social, moral, legal and business relationship in the
community is relentlessly relevant to the economics of its housing
sector there exists single family houses, duplexes, apartments, row
houses, permanent, semi-permanent, and temporary houses.
• Its not only sold but also rented. It can be built at a time or through
incremental development whereas ownership reflects the achievement
of both economic and social goals.
• a housing environment can be an index of the social health, happiness,
social justice, and dignity of the inhabitants.

5. Habitat III Policy

6. Habitat III Policy
As to reduce the global housing deficit some challenges are given. Combining
multiple solutions—land, finance, and construction—with multiple partnerships
governments, private sector, civil society and donors Beyond this policy paper
invites the global community to pursue a new strategic approach that includes
reforms in five area
1. integrated housing framework: embed housing strategies into urban
plans and sector (e.g. in services, land use , transportation) to better
integrate housing programs into decision-making;
2. Adopt an inclusive approach: support participatory processes and
fair housing policies, and address housing for vulnerable and special

THE FIVE DIMENSIONS OF GLOBAL HOUSING

7. 4. Improve housing conditions: improve habitability (protection from
natural elements, access to basic services (water , sanitation, lighting,
electricity, and garbage disposal), legal right to secure tenure
5. Upgrade informal settlements: support neighborhood upgrading
programs and incremental housing in informal settlements
VISION AND FRAMEWORK OF THE POLICY PAPER’S
a . Global housing goals can be achieved through the adoption and enforcement of
a comprehensive housing framework programmatic attention to five dimensions
b. A substantial amount of capital needs to be mobilized to significantly reduce the
global housing deficit access for all to adequate, safe and affordable housing and
basic services and upgrade slums.”
c. The achievement of an inclusive housing policy depends on a range of
interlocking external
factors within the New Urban Agenda

8. Linkages between Housing Policy and the New Urban Agenda
Social Cohesion:- for responding to the housing needs of low-
income residents,
integrating refugees, and ensuring safety.
Urban Frameworks:- To Collaboration between levels of
government, along with civil society and
housing developers,
Spatial
Development:-
Regulatory constraints on land supply—land
allocation
practices, density thresholds, floor-area
ratios, and plots sizes—,affordable housing.
Effective and efficient housing policies can
expand employment.improvethe functioning of
the urban economy and labor markets.
Urban Economy:-

9. POLICY CHALLENGES
As Effective response to this challenge plays an important role in
generating employment And economics growth.
According 1996 Habitat Agenda
 Progress in the monitoring of global housing needs:
 Right to adequate housing
 Reinforcement of local governments and their role in
housing provision.
Again The next sections describe specific challenges
across the five dimensions to serve better

10. 1.Integrated housing framework
 Embedding of housing into urban plans
 Both citywide and national sectorial investment strategies
As they relate to
 urban services
 land use
 transportation and
 environmental sustainability
 to improve livability and accessibility within urban areas.
2.Inclusive housing
 Participatory processes
 Fair housing policies
 Address housing for special needs groups

11. 3. Affordable housing
• Improve affordability of home ownership
• Subsidy policies to enable low-income households to rent or own
adequate housing
• Revenue and capital generating policies
• Mechanisms that limit property speculation
• As they relate to
• urban services
• land use
• transportation and
• environmental sustainability
4. Adequate housing

• Ensuring habitability (protection from natural elements, hazards,
and disease)
• Access to basic services
(including to water, sanitation, lighting, electricity, and garbage
disposal)using for special needs groups

12. 5. Informal settlement upgrading
• Support of neighborhood upgrading programs
• Protection of incremental housing
KEY ACTORS FOR ACTION – ENABLING INSTITUTIONS
• National, Regional, State, and Local Governments:
• Civil society organizations

13. Affordable housing
Project Name : Sheikh Sarai Housing
Project Location : Sheikh Sarai, New Delhi,
India .built 1982
Area:35 acres
Density:100 attempts/ha
Total no. of units: 550
Architect: Raj Rowel
Client: DDA( Delhi Development Authority)
Uploaded by :Arshia Chaudhn
Low-rise density housing developed in 1982, for DDA producing 550 of
affordable housing centered around a self-financing-scheme(SFS).developed
in a pre-existing dense urban fabric , the development is a part of a key
housing program for the meddle income groups located between a densely
populated residential area in south Delhi. The development is half mile from
major vehicular arteries of the city with quick access to all modes of
transportation. close proximity of this artery allows easy access to most of the
key areas within the city.

14. TARGET AUDIENCE -Affordable Housing built for
medium and low income
Groups (M.I.G=annual income ~ 4000$-16000 $)
• COMMUNITY SPACES – Fostering shared spaces
for the community by creating intimate courtyards
connected to each other, representing the
traditional elements of Indian Architecture. The scale
of these courtyards has been Manipulated towards
increased social activities and interaction amongst
the resident community, serving as social facilitators.
• AFFORDABILITY -A new financial scheme was
developed for this particular case which helped
subsidize the housing units for the users . In the Self
Financing-scheme, the a lottees had to pay in 5
instalments over the period of the construction phase.
This allowed the housing authority to create mix of
units and make the project more economically viable. -
The use of locally available material was intrinsic to the
nature of project and to further bring
down the cost of the project.

15. COMPOSITION ACCOMMODATIONS : There are 6 different types of unit,
regrouped mirroring blocks along 2assi prevalent, ranging in area 70-120sqm,
were organized into two distinct clusters, three and four storeys in height.
• The main type (B2) comprises 4 floors
and consists of the following
environments:
• - Living area, overlooking 2 fronts
• - Service areas and kitchen
• - Sleeping area
• - Terraces.
• Each floor has one apartment, except
for the top two
floors of the relevance of a just
accommodation.
• The accesses to spaces occur within
the spaces cortilizi
through a lifts.

19. • The lack of an integrated housing framework has worked against density and has,
instead, contributed to urban sprawl and segregation
• slum should not physically isolated and disconnected from the main urban fabric,
residents

20. Ethiopia: The largest ongoing project is the Integrated Housing Development

21. Financial Model:-
• Through public resources ,
• purchasing bonds from the Commercial Bank of Ethiopia (CBE).
• Beneficiaries must pay a 20 percent deposit.
