• Defined sustainable housing
• Work in progress
- Sustainability indicators still to be developed
- Technologies and delivery mechanisms stillto be linked to indicators

• Long-term economic value: annual yield vsmarket value
• Include estimate for social and environmentalliabilities on balance sheet
• Estimates of % of operational costs to be
afforded by state/households• Life cycle costs (externalities: health, pollution,etc)
• Consumer education about above?

• Trade off between ownership and alternative tenurein terms of which is more likely to protect long-termasset value for the poor:
