“Regulating the Private Sector: Case Studies in Inclusionary Housing Developments in Cape Town”, is a report which documents and draws out learnings from NU’s five-year experience of advocating for inclusionary housing through the Municipal Planning Tribunal in the City of Cape Town from early 2017 through to August 2022.
The report details the strategies NU has employed to identify exclusive developments in order to advocate for more affordable and spatially just housing in Cape Town. Whilst there are many global tools to manage exclusionary land markets including rent control, housing allowances and rent supplements, and various ways of taxation – land value tax, vacant land tax, tax incentives and abatements, and foreign purchases and multiple property taxes etc, inclusionary housing is most applicable, needed and situated within our historical and legislated frameworks.
