Abstract

In many parts of the world, housing is as an economic commodity, with the property acting as an asset that accumulates passive wealth for the owner. This trend stems from housing markets in the Global North, yet many formal housing markets in the Global South demonstrate similar characteristics. However, in the Global South, there is a prolific shortage of housing at every level; this has pushed many individuals to seek shelter in the informal housing sector. This situation has meant that the informal housing sector and any associated economic activities are lost to the official development agenda, and housing does not contribute fully to local economic development. This article explores the role of housing in development in South Africa and how a ‘developmental state’, with a housing-driven development strategy, can accelerate development at the local level.

住房在发展中的作用:利用住房作为南非发展的催化剂
在世界上许多地方,住房被视为一种经济商品,房产作为一种资产,为所有者积累被动财富。这一趋势源于全球北方的住房市场,但全球南方的许多正式住房市场也表现出类似的特征。然而,在全球南方,在各个层面都存在严重的住房短缺;这促使许多人在非正规住房部门寻求庇护。这种情况意味着非正规住房部门和任何有关的经济活动都被排除在官方发展议程之外,住房也不能充分促进地方经济发展。本文探讨了住房在南非发展中的作用,以及一个“发展型国家”如何以住房驱动的发展战略加速地方层面的发展。

期刊介绍: Local Economy is a peer-reviewed journal operating as an interdisciplinary forum for the critical review of policy developments in the broad area of local economic development and urban regeneration. It seeks not only to publish analysis and critique but also to disseminate innovative practice. One particular concern is with grassroots community economic development strategies and the work of voluntary organisations, considered within the context of wider social, political and economic change.
