Utilization of resources : formulation and implementation of housing and infrastructure policies and programmes

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to present the general course of action to be followed in the preparation of housing and infrastructure policies and programs or, to use a more modern term, environmental development/human settlements policies and programs, with emphasis on the effective utilization of national resources. The specific course of action, however, should be based on existing and anticipated national resources and, wherever available, national economic development forecasts, existing and anticipated needs for housing and related infrastructure and the goals, target and priorities established by the national Government for the formulation and implementation of a comprehensive national housing and infrastructure environmental development/human settlements - policy and program.
