With its extensive geographic coverage across South East Asia, South Asia, and the Far East and a cross section of different income groups, the book will interest reseachers and scholars in urban studies, architecture, development studies, public policy, political studies, sociology, policymakers in local and central governments, housing and planning professionals and commercial firms engaged in property markets or real estate in Asia. This book examines the nature of the interplay of both state and market in the housing outcomes of these cities. Housing and property have long been economic drivers, leading many individual households towards better lives and associated social and community benefits, while also collectively improving the economic base of a city or country. It studies housing through conceptual perspectives and empirical studies to explore established notions, cultures and practices relevant to the 21st-century post-reform context in Asia. This volume brings together twelve chapters divided across four thematic parts that sum up the concept and conditionality of housing in Asian cities. This future is closely linked to successful theoretical advancement and policy practice in housing studies. For many countries in Asia, the future of housing is now. Drawing on evidence from a number of Asian countries, the study argues that the real needs of the urban poor are not being met, and that other political and economic objectives, set by the established elites of society, predominate.Īuthor by: Urmi SenguptaLanguange: enPublisher by: Taylor & FrancisFormat Available: PDF, ePub, MobiTotal Read: 73Total Download: 680File Size: 51,5 MbDescription: This book offers a comprehensive overview of current housing practices across Asian cities based on facts and trends in the market. Four main types of accommodation – government construction, private sector, squatter housing and slum – are examined in terms of their contemporary and potential roles in meeting low cost housing needs.
Commencing with a discussion of urban growth in the Third World, the author then provides a general discussion on housing provision within contemporary development planning in the Third World. The investigation concentrates on the political economy of housing investment and illustrates how programmes and policies are often determined by broader development issues.
