| Summary: | center. A flexible pricing policy was implemented to encourage the private
sector to build more houses within the urban areas for the lower income group.
This paper will look at the institutional framework of low cost housing
delivery system in Malaysia in implementing the policy with Kuala Lumpur
as the case study. The institutional framework is assessed through two aspects:
1). A content analysis of the institutions’ roles, responsibilities and scope of
work and 2) The planning approval process at the local government level.
This is then validated by a semi-structured interview to further establish the
parameters. The paper is however limited to identification of institutional
parameters for the development of an institutional framework in implementing
the flexible policy model. The findings suggested that the institutional
framework does not complement the implementation of the policy. There are
loopholes in implementing the policy comprehensively. Identification of the
institutional parameter is important to contribute towards the development of
a new institutional framework. |
