Book excerpt: The need for adequate shelter and increased employment opportunities worldwide has been intensified by rapid growth in population, poverty and unemployment, especially in the urban areas of developing countries. Yet, investment in housing has declined significantly. It is therefore essential, as emphasized by the Global Strategy for Shelter to the Year 2000 and by Agenda 21 of the United Nations' conference on Environment and Development, for governments to adopt realistic and flexible housing policies, and to encourage the development of an efficient and sustainable construction industry.; Th.

The book results from a project funded by the GenevaInternational Academic Network, with staff from the InternationalLabour Office and the University of Geneva. It presents anddiscusses the challenges and potential of local authorities topromote decent work in construction. Existing literature on decent work focuses mainly on the rolesand responsibilities of actors in the private sector but thecontribution of the public sector should not be ignored. Localauthorities play a crucial role in economic development through arange of policies and programmes in the construction sector andrelated services. Labour Conditions for Construction: decent work, buildingcities & the role of local authorities includes amethodology that combines quantitative and qualitative information.It defines and validates a set of criteria to evaluate the capacityof local authorities, combining criteria about decent work, theconstruction sector and the policies and programmes of the localauthority in each case study city.

Book Synopsis Building Prosperity by : Anna Tibaijuka
Download or read book Building Prosperity written by Anna Tibaijuka and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a much-needed account, with numerous detailed examples, of the role of housing in economic growth and development by an author in a unique position to understand its importance and the practical measures for delivering that growth. While the linkages between housing and the macroeconomic environment in developed countries has been studied, the case of developing and transitional countries has been mostly overlooked. The author establishes these linkages with great clarity, supported by detailed case studies chosen to reflect regional diversity as well as differences in socio-economic development and political systems. On the basis of this analysis, the author goes on to develop specific policies and practices to enable governments to enhance the contribution of housing in economic growth.

Book Synopsis Extending Themselves by : A. Graham Tipple
Download or read book Extending Themselves written by A. Graham Tipple and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many countries have large stocks of government-built housing which, for various reasons, are in poor physical conditions and/or do not conform to the expectations of occupants. The occupants of such housing frequently make unauthorized but quite considerable changes and extensions (transformations) to their dwellings. This book examines user-initiated transformations to government-built housing in Bangladesh, Egypt, Ghana and Zimbabwe, surveyed in a research program sponsored by the UK Department for International Development. The 1600 dwellings surveyed show how relatively low-income households are capable of supplying new rooms and services both to improve their own housing conditions and to supply rental rooms or accommodation for family members living rent-free. The new construction is often of at least as good quality as the original structures and sometime envelopes the original in a new skin. It is clear that transformation adds accommodation and services to existing housing, upgrades the housing stock, and creates variety out of uniformity. The study leads to policy suggestions to encourage transformations for the renewal of government housing. These include the provision of loan finance; the encouragement of co-operation between neighbors, especially in multi-storey housing; and the planned colonization of open space next to the dwellings where plots are not provided. For new housing, it is clear that designs for new areas are only the beginning of an on-going development process rather than a blueprint for once-for-all development.
