The Indirect Effects of New Housing Construction in Developing Countries

Institut des Hautes Études Commerciales, Université de Tunis

The aim of this paper is to examine the indirect effects of new housing construction on the redistribution of old housing stock in developing countries. The basic data for the study comes from the author's work in Tunisia, with comparative illustration from similar studies in Mexico, and is used to test a certain number of conclusions on filtering derived from empirical studies undertaken in developed countries. The conclusions are that dwellings in the middle range of values initiated the longest chains of moves, but that as even these chains end before reaching the poorest families, filtering strategies need to be complemented by a positive programme of slum-upgrading.
