商品描述
The proportion of the world's urban population is expected to increase to about 57% by 2050, and the share of Africa's urban population is project to increase to 60% by the same year. As a result of this phenomenal growth in urban population, urbanization and urban poverty have begun to dominate the development discourse again after years of focusing on rural development. Housing is a crucial issue for the urban poor, who often lack land to build their own houses or access to financing that would allow them to purchase or build homes and are frequently concentrated in informal settlements with insufficient access to infrastructure, health, and education services. Furthermore, housing provision has largely fallen to central governments, and policy has largely overlooked the capacity of the urban poor--as individuals and communities--to provide housing for themselves.
This book engages these challenges and assumptions, offering insight into political, economic, environmental, and financial frameworks that can help facilitate adequate housing options. Drawing on examples from case studies across sub-Saharan Africa, these contributions center the urban poor in initiatives to develop housing infrastructure, offering lessons for researchers and governments looking to address an ever-escalating housing crisis.商品描述(中文翻譯)
全球城市人口的比例預計到2050年將增至約57%，而非洲的城市人口比例預計在同一年將增至60%。由於城市人口的這一驚人增長，城市化和城市貧困再次成為發展話語的主導，這在多年來專注於農村發展後重新浮現。住房對於城市貧困者來說是一個關鍵問題，他們通常缺乏土地來建造自己的房屋，或缺乏能夠讓他們購買或建造住房的融資，並且經常集中在基礎設施、健康和教育服務不足的非正式定居點。此外，住房供應主要落在中央政府身上，而政策在很大程度上忽視了城市貧困者——作為個人和社區——自我提供住房的能力。
本書探討這些挑戰和假設，提供有關政治、經濟、環境和金融框架的見解，這些框架可以幫助促進適當的住房選擇。通過來自撒哈拉以南非洲案例研究的例子，這些貢獻將城市貧困者置於發展住房基礎設施的倡議中心，為希望解決日益嚴重的住房危機的研究人員和政府提供教訓。
