Housing and urban development in Lusaka, Zambia : An evaluation of squatter upgrading in ChawamaRakodi, C. I. January 1986 (has links)
Housing policy in Zambia has followed a similar sequence to other developing countries, from construction of public housing to sites and services to upgrading of unauthorised areas, and earlier policies reveal outcomes and problems similar to those in other national contexts. A partly World Bank funded squatter upgrading and sites and services project was implemented in Lusaka between 1974 and 1981. In view of the innovative nature of this proJect, systematiC evaluation of its outcome and impact was carried out. Evaluation of the effects of upgrading in one of the main upgraded squatter areas, Chawama, is reported here. Upgrading resulted in improvements to the living conditions of residents and many of the principles upon which the design and implementation of the project were based were found to be sound. However, a number of problems were experienced, with respect to standards adopted for and maintenance of physical infrastructure, cost recovery and affordability, which were not unique to the Lusaka project. Evidence was found in the upgraded area of continued house improvement, growth in the total population of the area during upgrading and an enlarged small-scale rental housing market. Many residents affected by installation of infrastructure bad found accommodation elsewhere, especially small and tenant householdsj resettlement of the rest was accomplished in an adjacent overspill area without conflict, and rapid house consolidation ensued. Despite the absence of overt discrimination against particular types of household, the overspill area was characterised by households of larger than average size and higher than average income, suggesting a process of differentiation within Chawama itself. There was no evidence of upgrading having created opportunities for the valorization of landed capital, for penetration of the housing markets of unauthorised areas by external large scale capital, nor of displacement of existing with higher income residents. The roles of the state in housing policy and proclaimed reliance on self-help as a housing strategy for low income urban residents were found to be ambiguous in both theoretical and practical terms.

Socially Just Provision of Housing? : A comparative case study on notions of social justice and the interpretation of the right to adequate housing for all in the municipal housing provision in Stockholm and Berlin.Sarmulis, Edgar January 2023 (has links)
This study explores how notions of social justice are reflected in municipal rhetorics on housing provision in Berlin and Stockholm, as well as how they resonate with ensuring the right to adequate housing for all. The study also examines how the interpretation of the justice perspective within housing provision differs among the two cities and how such variances can be understood in relation to the cities’ pursued housing regimes. The study’s results indicate that both cities devote a significant amount of attention towards redistributive measures, however, their interpretation of a socially just provision of housing varies. This manifests itself most prominently in the different preferences regarding universal and selective approaches within housing provision. While Stockholm aspires to promote access to adequate housing for everyone, Berlin, on the other hand, pursues a more selective approach by explicitly focusing on providing affordable housing to lower-income groups. Accordingly, the two cases also represent an ideological divergence in their perceptions of what is seen as socially just in regards to what instruments and approaches ought to be used for ensuring everyone’s right to adequate housing. Hence, the study contributes to a better understanding of the contextual variations in the application of the justice perspective within housing provision in Stockholm and Berlin.

Racial Segregation in Dallas Public Housing: 1970-1976Weatherby, Norman L. 12 1900 (has links)
Racial residential segregation in Dallas public housing projects is analyzed before and after the implementation of the "central tenant assignment plan," adopted in May of 1975, Among the socioeconomically segregated population served by public housing, the effects of race and the nondiscrimination policy are investigated using project occupancy data. Indexes of dissimilarity are used to measure racial segregation, and the racial compositions of the communities in which the projects are located are described using 1970 U.S. census and 1976 Dallas City Profile Survey data. The findings indicate that the nondiscrimination policy was not effective in reducing the high levels of racial segregation. A small decline in segregation was noted after a change in project administrative personnel late in 1974.

As transformações nas políticas habitacionais brasileiras nos anos 1990: o caso do programa integrado de inclusão social da Prefeitura de Santo André / The transformations in brazilian housing politics in years 1990: the case of the integrated program aimed at social inclusion of the Municipality of Santo AndréBlanco Junior, Cid 06 October 2006 (has links)
Esta dissertação visa analisar as transformações ocorridas nas políticas habitacionais para favelas implementadas no Brasil a partir dos anos 1990, após a crise do modelo de remoções e construção massiva de conjuntos habitacionais nas periferias das cidades e da consolidação das urbanizações de favela como política oficial. Esse processo foi antecedido pelo fechamento do Banco Nacional de Habitação, pela nova constituição brasileira e pelo ajuste fiscal proposto pelas agências internacionais, causando mudanças significativas na capacidade de investimento dos governos locais e alterando o perfil das políticas habitacionais brasileiras. Essas novas políticas passaram a contemplar não somente a intervenção física, mas também várias ações sócio-econômicas, diluindo a questão habitacional dentro do contexto da nova questão social, resultando na diminuição de investimentos no setor da habitação de interesse social. Para exemplificar esse caso, será apresentado o processo de construção do programa integrado de inclusão social desenvolvido pela Prefeitura de Santo André a partir de 1997, baseado em programas de urbanização de favelas desenvolvidas no final dos anos 1980 na mesma cidade. / This dissertation is aimed at analyzing the transformations that have taken place in housing policies for slums implemented in Brazil as of the 90s, after the crisis of the model of removal and massive construction of housing complexes in the outskirts of cities and the consolidation of slum upgrading as an official policy. This process was subsequent to the closure of the National Housing Bank, to the new brazilian constitution and to the tax adjustment process proposed by international agencies, causing significant changes in the ability to invest of local governments, thus changing the profile of brazilian housing policies. These new policies include physical intervention in addition to several social-economic actions, diluting the housing issue within the context of the new social issue, resulting in a decrease of investments in the social interest housing sector. As an example, we will present the development process of the integrated social inclusion program carried out by the Municipality of Santo André as of 1997, based on slum upgrading programs developed in the late 80s in the same city.

O social verticaliza a cidade / Social verticalizes the cityNakamura, Pedro Kiyoshi Camargo 25 April 2016 (has links)
Esta dissertação tem como objetivo estudar o trabalho social em processos de remanejamento da população moradora de favelas para Conjuntos Habitacionais de Interesse Social. Para tanto, foram estudados quatro empreendimentos promovidos pelas prefeituras de Osasco e São Paulo entre os anos de 2004-2014, nos quais o trabalho social ocupou posição central. O trabalho social em habitação social, área historicamente ligada ao serviço social, contou durante o período estudado, com aumento de recursos e maior institucionalização, na medida em que se tornou cada vez mais regrado por documentos governamentais. Essa maior consolidação tem sido simultânea à chegada de técnicos oriundos de outras áreas profissionais, entre as quais a arquitetura. Neste contexto observou-se uma reconfiguração da política de atendimento habitacional para os moradores da favela e um acréscimo na escassez de terrenos aptos a receber conjuntos habitacionais. Esse novo cenário demanda do trabalho social novos procedimentos de atuação em consonância com as novas políticas, o que tem provocado a exigência de novas especialidades que se valem de inúmeros e variados discursos. O trabalho busca entender o processo de saída da favela e entrada no conjunto habitacional, atentando para o quadro atual da produção da moradia de interesse social, percebendo como estes discursos são aceitos, rejeitados, incorporados, por técnicos e moradores, formando uma representação da vida comunitária. / This thesis aims to discuss social work on relocation processes of people living in \"favelas to housing estates. For such, we studied four housing projects promoted by the municipalities of Osasco and São Paulo between 2004 and 2014, in which social work played a key role. Social work and housing fields are historically linked: the former was met, during the timespan we targeted, rising public funding and bigger institutionalization, in that it also met with more regulation by official state documents. This bigger consolidation has been concurrent with the arrival of other professional areas, architecture among them. At this setting, we observed a \"favela\"-living people housing policy reconfiguration and a shortage rise of free lots able to receive housing projects. This new scenario demands new procedures from social work, in line with the new policies, something that has also demanded new expertises, built upon various different discourses. Our work, paying attention on current housing production scenario, tries to present an understanding of this favela-departure and estate-arrival process, apprehending how these discourses are accepted, rejected, incorporated, both by professionals and by dwellers, building a community life representation.

Implementation of government housing delivery programme in the Gravellotte area of Ba-Phalaborwa Municipality, LimpopoMnisi-Mudunungu, Gloria Dzunisani January 2011 (has links)
Thesis (MPA) --University of Limpopo, 2011 / The study aims at investigating the extent to which the Housing Delivery Programme of Government is addressing the backlog in housing provision. In the other hand if Government is not addressing the backlog in housing, it should be established as to what are the casual factors to the failure.
The study randomly selected participants from Gravellotte to answer questions in connection with the two housing projects in Gravellotte, as well as officials of the Department of Local Government & Housing and the municipality of Ba-Phalaborwa. Primary data from participants and secondary data from books and journals were used. Qualitative method was more suitable for the study.
It has been found that government is continuously providing houses, but the pace does not address the backlog in a quicker way as expected by the community and the quality of houses remain an issue that needs serious attention.
