Learning From Each Other: NAHRO's Partnership with the Southern African Housing Foundation

摘要

In many ways, South Africa is a study in contrasts. Its housing can be as lavish as the most exclusive enclaves in San Francisco, and more challenged than favelas in Brazil. The country contains both the stunning natural beauty of the Cape of Good Hope and sprawling urban centers like Port Elizabeth. Suburbs of Port Elizabeth resemble housing in southern California-complete with stucco and palm trees. In September 2013, I had the opportunity to attend the Southern African Housing Foundation's annual conference as part of a five-member NAHRO delegation led by then-Senior Vice President (current NAHRO President) Preston Prince and CEO Saul Ramirez.
