Abstract

Nearly 1.6 billion people worldwide are living in inadequate conditions, according to a recent United Nations report. Local authorities are running out of ways to tackle the increasing challenges of affordable housing. In South Africa, this issue is compounded by historical apartheid and spatial segregation. However, mixed-income housing has proven an effective strategy for alleviating the concentrated poverty that marginalizes certain communities. Functioning as a toolkit for inclusive urban planning, Mixed-Income Housing Development Planning Strategies and Frameworks in the Global South evaluates how this framework meets specific socio-economic goals as opposed taking a broad overview of development. Exploring the relevant policies, planning, and legislation that have guided human settlements in South Africa, the authors consider how best to combat residential segregation, informal settlements, and the exclusive allocation of public housing units to the poorest of the poor. Additional case studies from the USA, Australia, Netherlands, Brazil, Nigeria, Botswana, and Ghana compare emerging building strategies and their benefits, including spatial integration, improved access to social services and other infrastructure, and the promotion of local economic development (LED). Mixed-income housing development has been described as the only way to confront increasing urban poverty and segregation in our built environment. Analysing past projects and focusing on future trends and trajectories, this book acts as both a model for understanding the planning and management of this framework, and a foundation for future research.

Abstract

It was in the early 1990s that the Dutch Ministry of Housing, Spatial Planning and the Environment published the supplement to the fourth report on spatial planning. This policy document achieved fame and notoriety under its Dutch acronym, Vinex. In its wake, hundreds of thousands of dwellings were erected throughout the Netherlands in what became known as Vinex districts. Sometimes eulogized, often vilified, they have always been a source of debate. The Vinex Atlas gives the first in-depth account of the entire Vinex stock, describing 52 districts aided by aerial views from the mid-nineties, plans, site data and recent on-site photographs. Add to these an exhaustive essay on the genesis and implementation of the Vinex programme and you have the definitive reference work on this unique spatial planning operation in the Netherlands. Begin jaren negentig publiceerde het ministerie van Volkshuisvesting, Ruimtelijke Ordening en Milieubeheer de Vierde Nota over de Ruimtelijke Ordening Extra. Deze raakte bekend, beroemd en berucht onder de naam Vinex. Met in totaal honderdduizenden woningen werden vervolgens overal in het land de zogenaamde vinexwijken gebouwd. Soms geprezen, vaak bekritiseerd, maar altijd onderwerp van debat. In dit boek is voor het eerst de totale bouwproductie minutieus in kaart gebracht. 52 vinexwijken worden tot in detail beschreven met historische luchtfoto’s, plattegronden, gegevens over de locatie en recente foto’s van het straatbeeld. Samen met de uitgebreide inleiding over de ontstaansgeschiedenis en de uitvoering van het vinexprogramma maakt dit de Vinex Atlas tot een compleet naslagwerk van deze unieke ruimtelijke opgave in Nederland.
