3 Affordable housing is defined differently in different contexts. In the USA, housing is considered affordable if the total cost, including utility bills, etc, is less than 30 percent of net household incomes. However, in the UK, housing is defined as affordable if is 80% of the market price.
In the vast majority of countries land and housing affordability is a critical contemporary challenge. While in different countries and regions the specificities of the challenge vary, the universal truism is that it is becoming increasing difficult for the vast majority of urban residents to obtain and retain adequate and affordable land and housing.
At the root of this challenge lies the legal and institutional frameworks by which land and housing are managed. A key factor in improving access to affordable housing is therefore to improve the governance and management of land markets, especially in urban and peri-urban areas where demand far outstrips supply, causing inflationary spirals.
