Popular housing supports and the urban housing market
Abstract
This chapter describes some of the ways in which governmental supports for popular housing, undertaken during the past two decades largely as emergency measures under the pressures of unplanned urban growth, have also begun to establish new and interdependent roles for formal and informal housing organizations and resources - roles that can lead to radically new opportunities in the housing sector if we can make positive use of the experience gained so far in supporting popular housing through sites and services (SS) and slum upgrading (SU) programmes.
