The study develops infrastructure policy statements for human settlements. These are tested through an online survey of human settlement stakeholders. Data gathered through the survey are analysed to provide findings for the study and recommendations for human settlement policy development. The findings indicate that addressing infrastructure in human settlements in South Africa is a high priority. It shows that there is strong support for alternative delivery and operational models, increased involvement of the private sector and communities, innovative financing and the use of sustainable technologies and systems, in the development and operation of infrastructure in human settlements. The study is original as it explores new approaches to addressing infrastructure backlogs in human settlements in South Africa. It contributes new thinking on how the private sector and communities can be involved, alternative delivery models developed, and how sustainable technologies may be applied in addressing these backlogs.FulltextenHuman settlement infrastructureInfrastructure policy statementsHuman settlement stakeholdersConference Presentation
