摘要
发展中国家面临的一个共同挑战是向城市地区快速增长的贫困人口提供住房、安全用水和卫生设施等公共物品。当治理过程伴随着城市人口无计划增长以及城市贫民流离失所，同时在没有为他们提供适当安全保障的情况下推行以市场为导向的发展战略时，这一问题就尤为严重。本文的目的是批判性地评估埃塞俄比亚亚的斯亚贝巴市在过去十年中为解决这一问题所做努力的困境。这项基于2015年实地研究的研究得出结论，尽管在扩大低收入住房的数量和质量供应方面取得了成功，但城市住房发展计划在很大程度上未能直接解决最贫困人群的住房需求。在很大程度上，这是由于问题的严重性以及地方治理能力有限；与项目设计和规划缺陷有关的问题；以及不同国家规划单位目标相互冲突。
ABSTRACT A common challenge faced by countries in the developing world is to provide public goods such as housing and safe water and sanitation to rapidly expanding and poor populations in urban areas. This is a particularly acute problem when the process of governing is accompanied by unplanned urban population growth and the displacement of the urban poor while pursuing market-oriented development strategies without proper safety nets for them. The purpose of this essay is to critically assess the plight of the city Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in its efforts to address this issue over the past decade. The study, based upon field research conducted in 2015, concludes that while having had success in expanding the availability of the quantity and quality of low-income housing, the urban housing development programme has largely failed to directly address the housing needs of the poorest of the poor. In large measure, this is due to the enormity of the problem coupled with the limited capacity of local governance; issues relating to shortcoming in project design and planning; and conflicting objectives of different national planning units.
