The Urbanization and Rural Settlement Sector is challenged by the continuously growing demand for housing in urban and rural areas, coupled with slow and expensive formal housing supply in urban areas, and by the simultaneous sprawl of unsustainable house construction in rural areas. Most urban residents still access housing through informal practices, because the formal sector cannot offer housing access schemes that cater to all.
