Housing modernization and management
This activity mainly aims to identify and provide tools to tackle problems related
to the existing housing stock and its management. Housing systems are an important
factors in saveguarding social cohesion in the UNECE countries. The activity also
provides an opportunity to look at urban renewal policies and at the existing and
emerging housing problems, especially regarding housing financing. As a result of
privatization in countries in transition, the proportion of owner-occupied dwellings
in multi-family housing has increased considerably. It is therefore important to
establish property rights, define mixed ownership, and establish a legal and institutional
framework for operating housing condominiums. This programme element also focuses on the
basic mechanisms for social housing development.
