Ideas to solve housing problems in a LEDC city
Rio de Janiero
Think of the advantages and disadvantages of each
possibility
Forced evictions of squatter settlements - To clear land for formal development
Low cost housing – Very basic breeze block housing constructed. People re-housed in them. Cidade de Dues (City of God)
Site and Service – Land is cleared and building plots prepared with water, sewerage and electricity. Residents build their own homes with plans and building materials provided.
Self Help Scheme – Existing settlements provided with water, sewage and rubbish collection. Building materials provided for residents to upgrade their homes (Favela Barrio Plan)
Rural Development – To reduce rural to urban migration
Increasing policing - to stop new squatter settlements
Raise taxes - on the rich to pay for improving housing for the poor
