Abstract:
Botswana like other developing countries faces a problem of acute shortage of housing, particularly for low-income urban families. The current housing problems are the outcomes of the economic, demographic and social changes which the country has experienced since independence in 1966. In particular the urbanization process which surfaced in the early 1980?s. The government has sought to cope with the problem of low-income urban housing by establishing a Self-Help Housing (SHHA) program in the main urban centers. The evaluation findings reveal that, on the whole, the impact of the SHHA approach on the improvement of low-income urban housing has been unsuccessful. The major problems of the scheme are lack of serviced land and inadequate finances for plot development. This has been exacerbated by the high urban development standards which are out of the reach of low-income urban families. The evaluation study also reveals that, there are some indications of non low-income urban households living in SHHA areas. The available evidence reveals that the number of those people in SHHA areas is not as big as has been speculated by most people in the country. However this paper calls for more investigation in this issue and a need for more tight measures to control this illicit practice. The major conclusions are that housing policies in Botswana are not supportive of the general housing conditions in low-income urban areas. Therefore there is a need for urban planners and policy makers of Botswana to take more positive action towards the improvement of low-income urban areas. This would require pragmatic policies geared towards the improvement of those areas. .

Abstract:
Thesis (M.C.P.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Urban Studies and Planning, 2001.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 173-175).
This thesis analyzes the self-help upgrading process of three gecekondu (spontaneous) settlements in Istanbul, Turkey. It describes the complex web of relationships between local and national government, community leaders, residents, legal landowners, developers and the general public; further, it examines how these stakeholders interact to create and distribute the benefits. The "thick description" of the beneficiaries creates an alternative view of the self-help upgrading process. The project evolved continuously to reflect the changing goals of the actors involved. The national government played a particularly influential role in the upgrading process. At certain times, gecekondu residents pressured the government to legalize their settlements. At other times, however, the general public and legal landowners pressed the government to outlaw the gecekondus to protect the rights and interests of law-abiding citizens. Other actors exercised their influence at the neighborhood scale, as the results of the development in the three neighborhoods show. While Rumelihisarustu has achieved the image of a normal settlement, the other two continue to retain most of their original gecekondu image of low-income, underdeveloped neighborhoods. Istanbul Technical University, the official landowner in Armutlu and Baltalimani, has used its influence to hinder development in these two neighborhoods. While the experience of the three neighborhoods demonstrates that the upgrading process can benefit most of the stakeholders, it also indicates that without active intervention, the gecekondu community as a whole fails to capture its share of the benefits. To avoid this problem, authorities must act consistently and enforce development regulations that extend the benefits of the upgrading process from individual gecekondu owners to the broader community living in these settlements. Open communication between the different actors is a key first step in the success of this process. This thesis sets the stage for this initial step by providing essential information regarding the role of the different stakeholders, and in the course of doing so, it also establishes a useful framework for the analysis of spontaneous settlements.

This thesis examines self-help housing policies in Peru by revisiting Independencia, one of Lima's young towns (squatter settlements), forty-five years after its founding. The study was designed to better understand how Independencia's low and moderate income families have been able to access and upgrade their housing from a long-term perspective. The thesis has three objectives: 1) to explore the different factors that influenced housing investments by the poor in Independencia; 2) to understand how programs created to support housing, have in fact contributed to or served as resources for families in Independencia; and 3) to understand how this process has worked and whether it is still able to meet the housing needs of families in Independencia. An underlying issue is the nature of incremental housing and progressive self-managed development. The house is perceived as a process and not as a final product. Using the housing trajectory as the unit of analysis, it is possible to see how this model has worked, how investments were made (building process), why investments were made and what provided the opportunities (influential factors). Based on findings from the data collected from thirty-one family interviews and housing surveys, the conclusions consider the role of external factors (public services, public infrastructure investments, land tenure, micro-credit, etc) and internal factors (family income and demographics) in housing investments over the forty-five years of its growth. Findings suggest that multi-generational needs are not being met and new forms of ownership, legal tenure, new credit, financing mechanisms and technical assistance are required.
(cont.) Regional planning issues are also emerging that must be confronted for successful integration of the settlements into the city fabric. Most of the literature on squatter settlements generally has looked at them in only one point in time. This thesis has a novel approach and contributes substantially to the research on squatter settlements because it emphasizes the need for a more dynamic and long-term method for evaluating the development processes of these communities.

Abstract:
Racially discriminatory apartheid-era policies, population growth, and high unemployment have given South Africa a severe shortage of urban low-income housing. This thesis evaluates the sites and services approach as a means to reduce the housing shortage. The limited success of the new democratic government's efforts to provide the urban poor with formal low-income housing suggests that sites and services housing's reliance on self-help labor may reduce the housing shortage more effectively than formal housing. This study will assess the sites and services approach in terms of several basic factors. They include: government costs per housing unit, speed of construction, affordability for the poor, and the degree to which the method can produce a standard of housing that could be acceptable to the poor.

Abstract:
During the late 1960s and 1970s, extensive disinvestment and an eviscerated real estate market led landlords of low-income housing to walk away from their real estate holdings, leaving thousands of buildings unoccupied and often city-owned due to nonpayment of taxes. In response, Latinx, African American, and some white residents protested the blight these buildings brought to their neighborhoods by directly occupying and seeking ownership of abandoned buildings through a process they called urban homesteading. Activists framed homesteading as a self-help initiative, often emphasizing their own ingenuity over state resources as the key to solving the problems of low-income urban neighborhoods. Such framing was understandable given the unstable economic terrain of the 1970s and won activists support not just from the political left, but also the right. But it also positioned homesteading as demonstrating the superiority of private-citizen and private sector–led revitalization in ways that left homesteading projects vulnerable as it became clear how necessary government resources would be to their success.

Abstract:
The enactment of Jamaica’s independence in Kingston on 6 August 1962 did not sweep away the colonial structures that had been put in place for the previous three centuries. Constitutional change had been taking place since 1944, but unemployment and dependence on the informal sector of the economy, coupled to poor housing and slum formation, could not be put right in short order. This chapter focuses on employment/unemployment and housing issues in Kingston in the first decades after independence, and makes a direct comparison with conditions in the last years of colonialism. A major new policy introduced after sovereignty was structural adjustment, which began to be implemented in a systematic way in the 1980s, and has had a substantial—and negative—impact on the lower class. Academic opinion suggests that the Latin American and Caribbean city has been doubly undermined during the last half century: first, by massive population increase following 1950, as the balance of the population has shifted from predominantly rural to overwhelmingly urban; and, secondly, by structural adjustment, which, since the late 1970s, has undone or undermined many of the solutions to urbanization previously achieved by grassroots endeavour in the face of labour-intensive capitalism—for example, the provision of shelter through self-help housing of the squatter kind. In short, whatever benefits late twentieth-century globalization has brought to Latin American and the Caribbean, there have been massive losers among the urban poor (Clarke and Howard 1999). This chapter modifies many, but not all, of these generalizations in the case of Kingston. While its formerly protected economy has been turned inside out by structural adjustment, Jamaica’s economy, even prior to independence, was small, open, and therefore potentially vulnerable; and Kingston was already a classic example of an overcrowded metropolis with a weak industrial base. The introduction of structural adjustment in Jamaica has increased unemployment or withdrawal from the labourforce, and impacted on the housing situation among the lower class, without—in the case of Jamaica—increasing economic growth. However, in Kingston, once the immediate impact of structural adjustment was over, a static or slowly declining urban economy has gone hand in hand with a gradual reduction (so the data show) of the highest levels of unemployment and a substantial improvement in housing provision and quality, despite the fact that more than half the labourforce is in the informal sector.
