| Summary: | Housing provision is a physical process of creating and
transferring a dwelling to its occupiers, its) subsequent
use and physical reproduction and at the same time, a
social process dominated by the economic interests
involved. Government intervention through good
housing policies is needed to deliver the housing
provision for the nation, either by private sector or
public sector means. What is needed in housing policies
and their implementing mechanisms is to make a
fundamental switch from a concern about housing as an
output to an adequate housing input. In a world where
more than one billion people continue to live in
adequate housing conditions, the imperative of renewed
attention to the realization of housing rights takes on
urgency. There is, therefore, government has legal
responsibilities to 'take steps by all appropriate means'
to ensure the full and progressive realization of the
human rights to adequate housing. |
