Cities across the developed and developing countries are grappling with varying degrees of housing unaffordability as per the specifics of local land and labour markets. Issues such as inadequate delivery of serviced land in the periphery of the cities, irrational and counterproductive land and building regulations that impose high costs on housing unit price, other regulatory processes impose additional time and costs on price of housing units. As a consequence markets are unable to provide units below a certain price range, leaving a large section of households in cities seeking housing adjustments uncatered and for whom access to affordable housing remains critical issue. Talking about the government regulatory support only ownership is talked about. Hence,the sub-strategy aims at enabling, provisioning and providing regulatory support for the people who live in sub-standard rental house or are seeking new rental unit. The study is divided into four chapters for understanding the city and formulating the sub-strategy.
