Abstract
Governments in the region are increasingly choosing shelter policies that emphasize improving the quality of life for as many people as possible, especially for those living in impoverished circumstances. While many governments support and subsidize conventional housing programs, there is growing recognition of the dire living conditions faced by residents in slums and squatter settlements, as well as those who remain virtually homeless. Progressive legislation and enabling statutory provisions provide the mandate for implementing upgrading programs in low-income settlements. These initiatives aim to provide substantial numbers of residents with access to basic necessities such as clean water, sanitation facilities, improved shelters, and community access through the provision of infrastructure, services, and technologies.
This study represents a further step in the ongoing efforts of the ESCAP secretariat, based on recommendations at both regional and international levels, which call for national policies and programs to improve slums and squatter settlements. In particular, it aligns with the recommendations made during the sixth session of the Committee on Industry, Technology, Human Settlements and the Environment, as well as the thirty-eighth session of the Commission.
