Introduction
Note: The opinion and recommendations in this document are exclusive responsibility of the author. This are the author’s notes on urban infrastructure and community development issues.
This document highlights the importance of economic development among poor urban communities. It suggests homeownership is the primary means by which communities achieve stability and their residents overcome poverty, achieve financial security end economic independence.
It seeks to examine the barriers that impede large affordable housing production in our communities and proposes strategic measures through which such production may be increased.

Does a city’s physical appearance impactsits social and economic outcomes?*
Housing policy: strategy to improve the quality of life of the population Homeownership is the primary means by which members
of a community achieve stability and overcome poverty , achieve financial security and ensure financial independence.
“Decent, affordable housing is fundamental to the health and well-being of people and to the smoth functioning of Economies.” (McKinsey Global Institute, 2014)
Examining the barriers to mass production of affordable housing in our communities and proposes policy measures through which they can increase production and use resources and expertise of the private sector.

Innovation and partnerships for a new urban agenda Private sector has the crucial ability to help
reinvent the city of tomorrow Contribute to a new urban paradigm Participate in the definition of the new
development agenda Post- 2015 Being part of the process preview to Habitat III
Conference, in order to influence the new agenda to determine the policies and programs of the next 20 years.
Urban transformation projects (UTP) Unless cities structure successful transformation projects
delivering quality of life and opportunities for mobility, resilience, better services and security, they will fail to fulfill their economic potential.
If city leaders want to win the support and trust of private citizens and the business sector, they need to invest in UTPs and deliver goods and services these constituent groups value the most.
Urban transformation projects (UTP) The challenges for city leaders will not be lack
of capital or even worthy projects, but the lack of good and sound structuring.
UTPs and investment opportunities need to be appraised and structured properly.
UTPs will require more innovation, more effort, and more thoughtfulness on the part of governments, business leaders and citizens. All of this is vital to ensure sufficient investment to support growth and help cities to do more with less.
Objective Develop Master Development Plan and Financial Plan for
Urban Transformation Project in District 8, Guayaquil, Ecuador.
Assembling 1,200 hectares and delivering urban guidelines to manage urban sprawl, setting standards for immediate and surrounding areas, while expanding the supply of affordable housing for middle and low incomes families.
Statistics Total Area 1,200 hectares 100% Infrastructure and green area: 204 – 300 hectares 17% - 25% Development area: 900 hectares 75%
Estimated unoccupied area (50%) 450 hectares
Net Density 160-190 Houses/hectare Total number of housing units: 72,000-85,500 Average floor area: 42-62-76 square meters
Total built area: 4,464,000 square meters Construction: $1,974,000,000 Sales: $3,950,000,000
Land 7%: $138,000,000 government contribution Infrastructure 5%: $99,000,000 government contribution Construction: $1,737,000,000 Private Sector $7.3 private sector per $1 of government expenditure
Execution period: 15 years Direct employment: 17,143 per year Indirect employment: 16,261 per year

Strategic objectives Provide to the Ecuadorian State, a shared vision of what
should be sustainable and inclusive developments.
That will allow the government, to develop policy guidelines and present to the international community an 'urban utopian vision' at the debates of the “New Urban Agenda" during Habitat III in 2016 .
Strategic objectives The Integrated Transformation Project in the Northwest
Zone Expansion of the City of Guayaquil, aims to help improve the living conditions of the community currently inhabiting the area of intervention, as well as its future population.
It aims to generate patterns of territorial organization and urban transformation projects that allow better internal integration with the whole city and the implementation of comprehensive and multi-sector operations.
Strategic objectives Our cities are still 'young' and still evolving; there is still
time to propose and design a more compact city (high density and mixed uses ), transit-oriented (access to mass transportation systems), more sustainable, and less vulnerable to the effects of climate change.
Strategic objectives Ensure the convergence of sector projects such as
education, public transport, water and sanitation and ability to generate impacts in all urban and regional spatial structure, guiding the overall growth of cities.
Structuring comprehensive urban transformation projects involves the generation, assembling and land development, focused on unlocking-value by delivering environmental goods, access to transportation, quality of life, housing and urban services through increased private sector participation .

Tackling the affordable housing challenge: Market oriented solutions* Unlocking land supply, many parcels of land remain
unoccupied or underused.

Tackling the affordable housing challenge: Market oriented solutions* Reducing construction costs, in many places residential
houses are still built in the same way it was 50 years ago.
Project cost could be reduced if developers raise productivity, apply economies of scale and scope.

Tackling the affordable housing challenge: Market oriented solutions* Lowering financing cost for buyers and developers Contractual savings, like those in place in Colombia since
1968 (National Savings Fund) or 1999 (Cuentas de Ahorro Programado, Decreto 824 de 1999).
