Some questions on Regulatory & Policy Framework
We can talk of many but for the sake of focus let us consider
only seven:
1. How best can land be made available in the peripheries of
metros and large cities at affordable prices?
2. Can we take a relook at our building codes? – with technological
advancement it is now globally proven that we can reduce
construction costs without compromising on any standard=>
better affordability across the spectrum and larger number of
units produced
3. Delays in obtaining clearances by developers only leads to
increased costs – can we work with one state government to try
to see how the clearances process could be expedited?
4
Some questions on Regulatory & Policy Framework
4. Could we accord an “Infrastructure” status for Affordable Housing
5. How do we revive the securitization market and introduce other
market instruments which will ensure a steady and sustainable supply
of long term funds?
6. Rental Housing on a large scale can act as huge boon for many –
migrant workers, students. How do we promote significant
development in this space?
7. With increasing global warming, what do we as practitioners do to
promote the development of “green” buildings across all price
ranges?
