Housing
Housing needs: 2 million additional units
Source: UN Habitat, BPS 07, team analysis.
What impact will a “Do nothing scenario” have on housing by 2020?
- Continuous urban sprawl, featuring numerous lower case constructions in suburban areas
- Stagnating housing market within the urban core
- Continuous and growing incidence of slum development around the metropolitan region
What will be the impact on other sectors?
- Higher economic costs, for example, increased travel time reducing productivity
- Potential social tension as lower income groups are increasingly separated
- Pressure on the existing transportation system, on utilities (water, electricity, waste and sewage) as urban sprawl develops
- Loss of arable land and reduced water retention area raising greater risk of flooding
