Background
The extraordinary socio-economic changes in many parts of the world, especially in the Asia-Pacific region, and the further globalization of the world economy have brought tremendous changes in housing, posing unprecedented challenges to governments, the private sector and housing consumers. While some countries may have already launched reforms to deal with the changes, many are still searching for new directions and are looking to the reform experiences of counterparts elsewhere.
The Conference provided an opportune forum for policy makers, academics and practitioners from different countries to exchange experiences and ideas, as well as to discuss issues of common concern. It also provided opportunities to examine and analyze regional problems in an international perspective, to identify challenges ahead, and to explore new dimensions and innovative solutions.
