Analytical Perspective of Pro-poor Slum Upgrading Frameworks

The close of the last millennium saw the development of cities in the developing world being radically shaped by the intrinsically related processes of urbanization and globalization. Neither of these phenomena is new — what is unprecedented is their pace and scale. Indeed, urbanization processes in most developing countries are

intensifying. This poses immense challenges for governments at all levels. These are rapid urban population growth and the urbanization of poverty. The latter is manifested most conspicuously in the proliferation and expansion of slums and informal settlements, which are home to a growing proportion of urban dwellers in developing countries. It presents a major challenge to the international community. Languages: English Pages: 79, Year: 2006 HSN: HS/847/06, ISBN: 92-1-131841-6 Price: US$15

Housing and Property Rights - In Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Serbia and Montenegro

The hardships that have confronted the people of former Yugoslavia throughout the past decade have been unprecedented in post-World War II Europe. The political and ethnic conflicts of the 1990s have affected all areas of social, economic and political life, and have had a particularly pronounced impact on the housing and

property sectors. Indeed, the region faces an array of severe difficulties related to housing and property issues. These include more than a million refugees and displaced persons who are still unable or unwilling to return to their homes. They also include a dysfunctional housing market in most countries, systematic discrimination against various ethnic groups, in particular the Roma, and an expanding informal housing sector. Many of these problems are associated with the sudden shift to a market-based economy. The privatisation of public housing and the loss of tenure and tenancy rights have rendered many people and families with limited and low-incomes more vulnerable to sub-standard living conditions, evictions and homelessness.

Policy Makers Guide to Women’s Land, Property and Housing Rights Across the World

Implementation of women’s rights to land, property and housing rights remains one of the more difficult challenges facing the world today. One of the difficulties associated with developing effective laws and policies on land rights stems from the immensely complex and diverse ways by which land is accessed, and the often gaping expanse between the position of

formal laws and the reality of women’s lives. Member States and the international community have agreed upon a series of commitments towards the establishment of security of tenure, for example through the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) 7, Target 11 on the improvement of the living conditions of slum dwellers, and Target 10 on access to improved water and sanitation. There is further political impetus and consensus on promoting women’s security of tenure through equal rights to land, property and inheritance through a host of international human rights standards, and more recently through the elaboration of Millennium Development Goal (MDG) 3 and the 2005 World Summit Outcome, where women’s land, property and inheritance rights are seen as an important indicator of women’s empowerment and human development.

played in affecting recent law reforms, and provides a detailed analysis of national legislation and policies on land, housing and inheritance in these three countries. It also describes mechanisms used by civil society organizations and paralegal networks to help implement women’s equal rights at community level. A historical background of the region and an overview of international human rights instruments are included. The study concludes with specific recommendations, which could help translate women’s rights to reality. Languages: English Pages: 195 Year: 2002 HSN: HS/667/02E ISBN: 92-1-131663-4 Price: US$17

Seminar for Securing Land for the Urban Poor

This a report of the seminar held in Fukuoka, Japan in October 2001. The UN-HABITAT Fukuoka office in collaboration with the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP) organized the seminar which looked into various issues affecting securing land for the urban poor.


Shared Tenure Options for Women

Security of Tenure is one of the cornerstones of Millennium Development Goal 7 on the improvement of the lives of slum dwellers, and is the main focus of the Global Campaign for Secure Tenure In most countries, a range of land rights and tenure types exists, which forms a continuum (from informal to

formal). Whether tenure is informal or formal, it is usually understood, recorded and/or registered in the name of men, leaving women’s secure tenure often dependent on their relations with their in-laws. As women’s access to land and housing is often through their husbands or fathers, they may lose such access after widowhood, divorce, desertion, or male migration. While collective forms of tenure also include women, the decision-making processes are often dominated by men, excluding women from the important decisions regarding the land and housing.

From Structural Adjustment Programmes to Poverty Reduction Strategies (De programas estructurales de ajuste a estrategias de reducción de la pobreza)

This paper’s background is the debate between proponents of pro-growth policies - developed under the form of structural adjustment from the 70s until early 90s - and those advocating poverty reduction strategies, culminating recently in the introduction of Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSP) in 1999. At the heart of the policy debate is an apparent choice between growth and equity.

Funding Mechanisms for Low-income Housing - A case study of the U.S.A

This monograph is the second in the series prepared by UN-HABITAT with the aim of identifying and sharing experiences of financing housing for low-income people. The first monograph provided a succinct account of the experiences of the Canada’ s Mortgage and Housing Corporation on the sustainable development and growth of the housing finance system in Canada.

The present monograph reviews the historical evolution of the housing financing system in the United States and provides a detailed overview of systems and mechanisms for financing housing for all, with especial emphasis on housing finance for low-income households. It describes the variety of public-private partnership mechanisms employed in making housing available to the different socio-economic strata of the population, the role and contributions of government at both federal and state levels, the local authorities, the banks, and the insurance companies.


Local Economic Development (LED) series - Promoting Local Economic Development through Strategic Planning

The most fundamental challenges of cities-big and small-are linked to their capacity to generate wealth and economic opportunities. The economic vibrancy and resilience of cities largely determine their ability to deal with a host of other development issues including fighting poverty and absorbing population influx. What ever is the context and triggering point, the case for local economic

development is strong. The question is how to do it. The Local Economic Development (LED) series is a resource for local governments, businesses and civil society organizations to help them initiate and implement local economic development interventions through a strategic planning process. The series, a joint publication of UN-HABITAT and EcoPlan International, is comprised of Four Volumes;

Volume 1 - Quick Guide: an overview of the LED SeriesVolume 2 - Manual: LED concepts and a 10-step planning processVolume 3 - Toolkit: tools to support the planning processVolume 4 - Action Guide: action ideas and case studies

and policies on land rights stems from the immensely complex and diverse ways by which land is accessed, and the often gaping expanse between the position of formal laws and the reality of women’s lives. Member States and the international community have agreed upon a series of commitments towards the establishment of security of tenure, for example through the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) 7, Target 11 on the improvement of the living conditions of slum dwellers, and Target 10 on access to improved water and sanitation. There is further political impetus and consensus on promoting women’s security of tenure through equal rights to land, property and inheritance through a host of international human rights standards, and more recently through the elaboration of Millennium Development Goal (MDG) 3 and the 2005 World Summit Outcome, where women’s land, property and inheritance rights are seen as an important indicator of women’s empowerment and human development.

Shared Tenure Options for Women

Security of Tenure is one of the cornerstones of Millennium Development Goal 7 on the improvement of the lives of slum dwellers, and is the main focus of the Global Campaign for Secure Tenure In most countries, a range of land rights and tenure types exists, which forms a continuum (from informal to formal). Whether tenure is informal or formal, it is usually understood, recorded and/or registered in the name of men, leaving

women’s secure tenure often dependent on their relations with their in-laws. As women’s access to land and housing is often through their husbands or fathers, they may lose such access after widowhood, divorce, desertion, or male migration. While collective forms of tenure also include women, the decision-making processes are often dominated by men, excluding women from the important decisions regarding the land and housing.

�00� Annual Report

The year 2005 was marked by a number of important events and milestones for UN-HABITAT. It started inauspiciously after the Indian Ocean tsunami disaster of December 2004 that claimed countless thousands of lives. And it ended that way when on 8 October 2005, at the onset of winter, when an earthquake of magnitude 7.6 struck close to Muzaffarabad in Pakistan-administered Kashmir, claiming

nearly 75,000 lives and leaving more than 3 million people homeless. Overnight, considerable property was destroyed and entire communities were displaced in natural disasters that may take a decade to repair. UN-HABITAT responded quickly to the humanitarian call and as a result is now actively involved with the affected communities in Indonesia, Maldives, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Thailand, helping rebuild homes and livelihoods with the active participation of those most in need.
