emphasize on the achievement of the three basic
goals of development, namely adequate, affordable
and quality in an integrated manner and not just
focus on the aspects of adequacy and affordability.
Housing development strategies should be based on
creating liveable communities by emphasizing the
following aspects:

a) managed management
b) an active community
c) good design

The housing planning process needs to change from

just focusing on ‘preparing the house to be
occupied’ to creating quality and harmonious
housing.
