Exploring Incremental Housing
This publication contains the summaries of presentations on multi-story incremental housing from the 6th Session of the World Urban Forum in Naples, Italy, in 2012.
Framing questions:
- Can the exploding urban population challenge
be met with new incremental initatives for accommodating growth?
- Can the demonstrated energy of the informal
sector be supported through multi-story starters?
- Does a multi-story incremental strategy justify
the high capital costs of utility infrastructure
networks?
- When making policy choices, which is best
to support: the informal dynamic, the formal
housing, or transformation of existing public
housing - or all three?
