The reason behind excessive land bought by the private sector was the security conditions of the country.

By the passage of time the rate of the land started to increase up and up because of the increase in demand of private sector. So the military has to develop this housing scheme to other major cities also. Now a days the military is buying more and more land to expand DHA in all the major cities of Pakistan one example of this is that there are 11 phases of DHA in Lahore by the end of year 2013.

These populations were gaining more and more people every single year and the country has to do something to make places for these people to live. The government would go on to create urban housing programs. These programs were created to make homes for these people to live in. At the time it provided a place for people to live but as the populations grew it became a more cramped and rundown area because of the large populations in one place. These reforms eventually led to these areas becoming dangerous, they were rundown, and it created a hole that was difficult for people to get out of.

  • Divided Agenda: The Chicago Housing Authority

    The Chicago Housing Authority came about as a means to manage the large amount of poor Black residents. " In 1949, Congress, in addressing a postwar housing crisis, had authorized loans and subsidies to construct 810,000 units of low rent housing units nationwide" (p.21, Kotlowitz). During the 1950's the first of these new developments were constructed- The Cabrini homes were some of them. These first developments were only one or two stories and were well received by the city and its residents. Then the Chicago Housing Authority hired architects who designed a new type of development. A high-rise building (known as a project) with each unit having at least 15 to 19 floors, and approximately 5-15 buildings within each development. There was a political battle as to where these Projects would be built. After many meetings and court decisions they were finally built at the edges of the existing Ghetto's.

    In July of 1949, Harry Truman announced the approval of the Housing Act of 1949. In a message to the people of the United States, he said “It opens up the prospect of decent homes in wholesome surroundings for low-income families now living in the squalor of the slums.” Designed to eliminate slums by privatizing land acquisition to create new opportunities, redevelopment became a viable concern for varying groups who sought to revitalize their cities. Locally planned slum clearance, redevelopment of communities, and installation of community improvements were the core of the bill, giving responsibility to do these things to the local and state government. After clearance of targeted areas, the land

What is required is a large scale social housing development last seen since 1932. A large quantity of social housing that was previously owned by Dublin corporation and Dublin City council were privatized Public housing private financing joint ventures may need to be pushed if the government cannot be coerced into building large scale social housing projects. Municipal housing associations . Mention gentrification maybe tie the 'no rent supplement' issue into this.

  • The Benefits of Implementing a Homeowners Association

    955 Words  | 2 Pages

    Purchasing my first home was a monumental moment for me, yet there were so many steps involved. The acquisition was a process, far more extensive than I had ever realized. I had select criteria, and felt I satisfied this well. As a mother I needed a clean and safe environment in which to raise my daughter; as a first time home-buyer, I had to do this within a modest budget. I found a quiet little neighborhood on the edge of town; it was a dream come true. It was the perfect family neighborhood. I bought a cute little house in a cul-de-sac, no more apartments, and no more stringent guidelines. I had a protected investment and felt in control. I am not an experienced home-buyer, so it is quite possible I missed a few warning signs. My neighborhood is replete with rental properties. Neighbors came and went, few with lasting ties. There was a noticeable decline in property maintenance, as well as morale. If you’ve ever mistaken the neighbor’s home for a yard sale, then you know what must be done. In order to protect our investments, the residents of Windsor Village need to organize a homeowner’s association.
