| Summary: | With African cities urbanizing
rapidly, there is a growing appreciation that it is time to
take a fresh look at the potential for the sites and
services approach to meet urban development and housing
needs in these rapidly growing urban areas. The report
presents guiding principles on designing sites and services
projects for Task Team Leaders (TTLs) and operations teams
that emerge from a study conducted by the Urban Poverty,
Inclusive Cities and Housing Global Solutions Group (GSG).
The report provides a clear understanding of the large scale
1st generation sites and services by assessing their design
and implementation, establishing their effectiveness in
meeting the set objectives, examining reasons most
governments and donors abandoned the intervention,
identifying factors that contributed to their success or
failure in countries where they were adopted, and
identifying how building technologies, land and housing
markets have changed over time in support of or against
sites and services. The report also presents low-carbon
alternatives that can be applicable in this approach, before
concluding with lessons and potential guiding principles for
possible future projects. |
