Book Synopsis Residential Satisfaction and Housing Policy Evolution by : Clinton Aigbavboa
Download or read book Residential Satisfaction and Housing Policy Evolution written by Clinton Aigbavboa and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-07-04 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores residential satisfaction and housing policy trends in developing nations by using subsidised low-income housing examples in South Africa, Ghana and Nigeria as case studies. While there has been much documentation on the formation of residential satisfaction and the evolution of housing policy in developed nations, relatively little has been written about these topics in developing nations. This book provides readers with two major practical insights: The first is focused on the theoretical underpinning of residential satisfaction and the formation of residential satisfaction in subsidised low-income housing through the development of a conceptual framework, while the second is focused on housing policy evolution and its trends in South Africa. In this section of the book, comparative overviews of public housing in two West African countries are provided with an emphasis on the philosophical basis for its development in these countries. The central aim of the book is to provide readers with ideas on residential satisfaction formation and housing policy trends in South Africa.
Book Synopsis Can Government Think? by : Kris Hartley
Download or read book Can Government Think? written by Kris Hartley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-06-03 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate change, financial crises, and other issues of global scale no longer concern only the developed world. The binding power of globalization has placed these challenges at the doorstep of almost every country, testing the evolutionary capacity of monolithic governance systems bound by institutional legacy and administrative stagnation. This book locates the concept of adaptive governance, used primarily in environmental management, within the context of economic policy. Introducing flexible economic opportunism, it argues that a particular style of institutional and administrative versatility enables innovative, evidence-based policy development. This book mines institutional economics, public administration, and research theory and practice for complementary elements that can inform an emerging governance paradigm based on flexible economic opportunism. Through an eclectic suite of cases from the developing and developed worlds including Asia and North America, this book reveals how patterns of institutional and administrative change impact the efficacy of public policy. Flexibility may be this century’s most critical dimension of global competitiveness, and systems configured to quickly and comprehensively capture economic opportunities will win the marketplace of development ideas. This book advances that discussion.
Book Synopsis Effectiveness of Public Private Partnership Models on Housing Delivery by : Basheer A. Oshodi
Download or read book Effectiveness of Public Private Partnership Models on Housing Delivery written by Basheer A. Oshodi and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study assesses the effectiveness of public private partnership (PPP) model on housing delivery. This is a study of three selected housing agencies (Lagos State Ministry of Housing (LSMH), Lagos State Development and Property Corporation (LSDPC) and New Towns Development Authority (NTDA) in Lagos State. It is based on a review of literature and a survey of the staff of the three selected housing agencies. A total of number of 120 questionnaires was administered to the respondents out of which 107 were retrieved and used for the study. The participants were randomly selected. The descriptive statistics of frequency table and simple percentage were utilized for analysis of data collected to achieve the study objectives. Furthermore, the inferential statistics based on Pearson Chi-square was used to test stated hypothesis at 0.05 alpha level of significance with the aid of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 16.0. Results show that there is difference in staff perception of government intention of adopting PPP model for housing delivery in Lagos State. Results further show that there is a significant impact of effective usage of PPP model on housing delivery in Lagos State. Based on these findings, it was recommended that Lagos State Government should promote the use of other models such as Design-Own-Finance-Operate (DOFO) and Buy or Lease, Complete, Operate or Maintain (B/LCO/M) to develop innovative processes for private sector involvement in PPP housing projects. Also, Lagos State Government should consider the use of other less used PPP models such as Design-Build-Finance-Operate, Build-Lease-Transfer (BLT) and Service Management in attending to the housing need of the State. Lagos State Government should also improve on the processes of Housing Project Delivery using other PPP models that are not used in this study.
Book Synopsis Order and Disorder by : Luna Khirfan
Download or read book Order and Disorder written by Luna Khirfan and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2017-06-07 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Middle Eastern cities weather the second decade of the twenty-first century, they face a number of challenges to their economic resilience, competitiveness, and internal stability. In this uniquely tense realm for the urban public, an understanding of the dynamics of decision-making processes, citizen power, and the rule of law is critical to the direction of policy in the future. In Order and Disorder, Luna Khirfan weaves a cross-national comparison of Amman and Cairo that dissects the many layers and complexities of urban governance. Through case studies on a diverse array of development projects and their associated challenges, the contributors demonstrate how three actors – the state, the market, and civil society – interact with each other within the same urban political space. First, they argue that interplay between the state and civil society reveals the potential of urban majorities and the discords within current participatory planning. She then delves into the neoliberal dynamics between the state and the market, stressing the impact of economic push and pull factors on urban landscapes. The final chapters explain why the market’s relationship with civil society oscillates between exclusion and alienation. Throughout the book, Khirfan identifies the role of an authoritarian bargain in governing every one of these interactions. In light of current regional political instability in the Middle East and North Africa, Order and Disorder offers an arena for extrapolating lessons from urban governance to the wider political sphere.

Download or read book The Sustainable City VIII (2 Volume Set) written by S.S. Zubir and published by WIT Press. This book was released on 2013-12-03 with total page 1429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With majority of the Earth’s people now urban dwellers, and cities being the most efficient habitat for the utilisation of resources, it is imperative that we continue to support standards of living and efficiencies of urban areas. However, the urbanisation process has not been without its problems. While much has been done to address the original issues surrounding the quality of urban life, new challenges continue to arise. It is no longer sustainable to achieve improvements by means that require greater and greater energy consumption as we did in the past. Despite their complexity, however, cities are a great laboratory for architects, engineers, and other key professionals to apply new ideas and new technology to meet our requirements for more sustainable city environments. Containing papers presented at the latest in a series of conferences organised by the Wessex Institute of Technology, these proceedings, split in to two volumes address not just environmental, architectural, and engineering concerns, but also quality of life, security, risk, and heritage. The diversity of topics and the case studies based on existing projects make the book an important contribution to the literature on urban planning.
