Tenure Security, Land Titles and Access to Formal Finance in Upgraded Informal Settlements
Pro-poor land policies have recently emerged in reconceptualising access to housing finance in low income settlements in developing countries. In Tanzania, this concept has been adopted to enable dwellers in urban informal settlement to enjoy perceived tenure security. Settlement upgrading has further increased perceived security. Interestingly, titling projects aimed at facilitating access to credit from formal financial institutions have been i…
Rights, Knowledge, and Governance for Improved Health Equity in Urban Settings
All three of the interacting aspects of daily urban life (physical environment, social conditions, and the added pressure of climate change) that affect health inequities are nested within the concept of urban governance, which has the task of understanding and managing the interactions among these different factors so that all three can be improved together and coherently. Governance is defined as: "the process of collective decision making and …
Urban poverty and housing transformations in informal settlements
Housing is an important asset of the urban poor. Depending on the ability to manage the asset and on theregulatory framework, households can earn income from renting out rooms and move out of poverty. Thisstudy is on housing transformations in informal settlements, unlike similar earlier research on government-builthousing. Based on empirical investigations in two informal settlements in Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania,the article explores the effects of…
The Design of Housing and Shelter Programs
Both developed and less developed countries are becoming increasingly urbanized. The earlier industrialized countries have developed more infrastructure to support the building of healthy housing, in neighborhoods that are strongly linked to municipal and global health initiatives, but to some degree housing and neighborhood issues vary only in degree between the developing and developed worlds. Overall, a billion people, a third of people living…
Reconceptualizing housing finance in informal settlements
Most urban dwellers in developing countries live in informal settlements in housing that is built incrementally. Low-income households most often have no access to formal housing finance institutions and largely depend on informal housing finance mechanisms in addition to the recently established shelter microfinance institutions. However, both formal and informal shelter-financing institutions have a requirement for savings. Based on empirical i…
