More
Than Shelter: Bellagio Housing Conference
In
May 2005, the Joint Center, with support from the Rockefeller Foundation,
convened a four-day intensive gathering of top policy makers from
four countries with similar housing challenges - Mexico, South Africa,
Thailand, and Kenya - together with global experts and business
leaders in housing and housing finance. The goal of the conference
was to explore and demonstrate the role of housing as a valuable
instrument of economic and social development for developing countries,
drawing upon the unique knowledge and experiences of these four
countries' policy makers to provide peer-to-peer input on current
housing strategies.
