        Managing Housing in Cities Sustainably
        
        (Main purpose) As more of the global population dwells in cities, strategies to ensure adequate quality housing is important.
        
        The strategies include:
        
        Integrated land-use ¬ How resources are used and the environment is protected.
        
        The provision of inclusive public housing. ¬ How to make people feel included regardless of race, age or income groups.
        
        In areas where slums are prevalent, governments have adopted a strategy of enhancement rather than demolition as a sustainable way of improving housing conditions.

        Suggest how type of housing in cities can affect people
        
        Point out features of housing ¬ e.g. sanitation; public health conditions related to clean drinking water and treatment and disposal of human excretion and sewage.
      - Use of natural resources
        
        Housing development in cities increases the resource demand in any surrounding area. ¬ People in cities need resources for their daily living (Energy from food, electricity, furniture)
        
        Thus, natural resources need to be extracted to fulfil these needs which will impact the natural environment in many ways
        
        Environmental pollution
        
        Housing development in cities may lead to environmental pollution, including land and water pollution.
        
        Effects:
    - - ¬ Planning authorities practice zoning as a planning control tool by restricting the type of activities and land-use permitted on specific sites to shape the layout of cities and enable various types of developments.
        
        ¬ Formal housing occupies areas designed for housing development while informal housing can occur regardless of land-use planning guidelines.
      - Developers
        
        ¬ Private developers (individuals that develop a property for profit) tend to pick sites that are most commercially viable.
        
        ¬ Housing built by governments tends to consider people’s needs more than profits.
        
        ¬ Informal housing tends to occupy locations near housing developments to benefit from is existing infrastructure.
  - - - Locally unwanted land-use
        
        Near landfills, sewage treatment plants and large polluting industries.
