Land for Housing the Poor

摘要

Efforts were concentrated on examining how governments can speed up and increase the supply of land for housing the poor, and ensure that the poor receive secure tenure for their housing. The Seminar recommends that governments concentrate on acquisition (temporary or permanent) or mobilization of land supplies, provision of basic services and delivery of land, rather than on the building of shelter structures. It was strongly felt that this was the only practical course in most developing countries where governmental resources have to be concentrated on the most effective efforts to be made. Under a framework of four topic headings, a total of 30 recommendations was approved and is presented in this report. Each recommendation represents a specific step which can be taken by governments towards meeting the land needs of the poor.
