Did you know that climate action can also be taken by incorporating green and resilient strategies into housing?
But what does it mean for a home to be considered green and resilient?
And is it possible to implement green and resilient strategies in existing or older homes?
We invite you to take part in this course to explore the answers to these questions and learn about the design of green and resilient housing with IDB experts.
This publication provides a general overview of the housing sector in Brazil, presenting the housing deficit and demand, the actors and institutions involved, the legal framework, and the financing conditions for the sector. In addition, it highlights good practices—both national and international—that promote access to quality housing through programs, financing mechanisms, and other systems. The content of this publication serves as a technical basis to support public policy discussions at local and national levels, aimed at improving the housing sector to achieve social inclusion, environmental sustainability, and economic development in the country, in collaboration with the private sector.
This progress report presents the findings identified during the field research process, desk review, and interviews with relevant stakeholders across Panama’s housing value chain. It also includes the status of each link in relation to process simplification, alternative housing solution modalities, optimization of subsidy resources, incorporation of sustainability elements, financing, stakeholder involvement, integration of sector information, regulatory framework, urban development planning, and identification and targeting of the population in need, among other aspects.
Urban expansion in Peru has been characterized by informal access to land and progressive self-construction, leading to inadequate, poorly located housing with high levels of risk. To address this challenge, the IDB carried out a comprehensive analysis of the housing value chain in the country, together with key stakeholders from the sector.
The study identifies critical links with potential for improvement and proposes structural reforms to regulatory, institutional, and financing frameworks, incorporating sustainability, gender equity, and diversity approaches.
The study covers housing supply and demand, the effectiveness and impact of current public policies, and provides inputs for the creation of policies that improve housing accessibility and quality. It assesses factors such as the demand for social housing, the physical conditions of dwellings, the regulatory framework, and the institutional environment. Finally, it presents recommendations to boost the sector and address housing deficiencies.
