37 Housing Impacting on Cities A. Housing is designed and regulated, ultimately defines the urban form of the city B. Housing regulations greatly influence spatial patterns, quality and types of housing in cities C. The competitiveness of the city is affected by housing affordability D. Housing finance determines the type and quality of housing people can afford, and where housing is ultimately located E. Land management influences inclusionary housing and residential inclusion.

38 7. Housing at the Center of the Urban Policy: FINAL evidence-based propositions. 06/12/2018 Claudio Acioly Jr 38

39 SIX POINTS: housing at the center in practice 1. Sufficient quantity of social housing produced annually to meet the demand and realize the right to adequate housing as per NUA, SDG11, Habitat Agenda. 2. Unlock land supply: serviced land available at scale 3. A rental housing sector that provides alternatives for those unable or unwilling to become homeowners. 4. Affordability: sufficient quantity of housing at an affordable price and financial services accessible 5. Diversified housing options in price, location, standard, tenure and size within the urban structures of cities 6. Overcrowding does not exist and informality is gradually diminishing and cities getting onto a path of planned and sustainable urbanization. 06/12/2018 Claudio Acioly Jr 39
