Housing, especially low-cost housing, has at last started claiming a greater share of attention from our government than it did in the past. This is certainly a good sign but if the problem of housing is to be solved, not only on paper but also in practice, it is essential to draw up programmes that will utilise as many local resources and skills as possible. The problem of housing has many facets and therefore its solutions should be based on a multi- faced, approach. Efforts are being made in various directions such a planned utilisation of avaiable land, research into the improvement of indigenous materials and techniques and establishment of suitable finance mechanisms.
