Accelerating housing development schemes

Implementing housing development schemes
Expanding modernized basic housing

Description

Accelerating housing development schemes involves streamlining regulatory approvals, mobilizing financial resources, and fostering public-private partnerships to rapidly increase the supply of affordable and adequate housing. This strategy targets bottlenecks such as land acquisition delays, high construction costs, and bureaucratic inefficiencies. By implementing fast-track procedures, incentivizing innovation in building methods, and ensuring coordinated stakeholder engagement, it aims to address housing shortages, reduce homelessness, and improve living conditions in urban and rural areas.

Implementation

This strategy features in the framework of Agenda 21 as formulated at UNCED (Rio de Janeiro, 1992), now coordinated by the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development and implemented through national and local authorities.
