I. Challenges for Regional Cooperation
The Asia region is a hotspot of urbanization – with growing numbers of cities of 300,000 inhabitants or more in 2014.
It is increasingly the locus of megacities (>10 Million Population) with 17 of the 29 identified megacities in Asia, (UNHABITAT) .
Haphazard urban development, overcrowding, inadequate housing and deficient basic services, environmental degradation, increasing everyday risks well as the growing risk from climate change.
With an average of 28% of urban populations in Asia living in slum conditions, equating to 564 million people! (WCR 2016). 3
(Rapid & increasing) shifts of populations from rural to urban areas
World Urban Population
1900 - 13% (220 million) >> 2005 - 49% (3.2 billion) >> 2030 – 60+% (4.9 billion) (UN World Urbanization Prospects Report)
Yet many people remain without access to basic infrastructure including; safe water supply, sanitation and solid waste management (SWM)
Live in poor quality and overcrowded housing
With Informal slum settlements often in dangerous locations

Significant demographic shift from rural to urban areas
Broad-based urbanization - cities of different demographic and geographical sizes
Urban areas are often driving economic growth – due to increased connectivity to markets, improved infrastructure and services, when compared to rural areas.
Regional cooperation between countries is also encouraging the growth of economic corridors and the development of secondary cities and small towns, which are increasingly connected.

Cambodia’s Economic Transformation2015 marked 22 years of generally progressive economic development in Cambodia, following the formation of the Royal Government of Cambodia in 1993 (and a transformation from a planned to a market-based economy)
Cambodia’s economic performance has been partly generated and supported by resilient exports and tourism as well as a strong real estate sector.
The Cambodian economy grew by an average of 7% in 2013, 2014, and 2015 and is project to maintained this growth of 7% per year in 2016 and 2017 (ADB).
With this growth, the GDP per Capita has risen to USD$1,158.7 (WBG) in 201,5 from a base figure of just USD$253 per capita/ per year in 1993.
If this rate of growth is maintained for a longer period Cambodia’s GDP is expected to double within 10 years.

The Urban Economy: Situation AssessmentThe demographically defined total labour force for the country was about 8.6 million in 2008.
Using the 2013 population count (14.7 million), the overall economically productive population has grown to ~9.1 million people in 3.2 million households.
Clustering and translating this into the three broad sectors and assuming equal household size (which is definitely a simplification),

Development Projects
Some of the Current Large Scale Projects Being Implemented
In 2014 (CSES), 94% of Cambodian households were reported owning their own of homes/houses, with an average of 46m2 or ~10m2/ pers.
It is projected that Cambodia needs an additional 80,000 units (equivalent to 1.1 million units by 2030),
~15,000 housing units/ per year are estimated as needed in Phnom Penh
However current commercial provision is mainly aim at upper middle to high income (and foreign) markets only. Driving housing prices upwards which continue to grow and surpass local earning/incomes groups as
Avg. GDP is now 1,158$/per/yr, with an average of 7% growth/annum from 2005 onwards (2015)
It is currently estimated that a person needs 33-53 years to buy a house, If ranging between 36-48m2 with estimated costs 50,000-80,000USD/unit (Or only 17-26 years for 2 income earners)
Urban Housing Challenges 1
23
At present only about 10% of Phnom Penh’s population can afford housing based on current and projected income levels!
Yet 87% of Phnom Penh’s population reported owning their homes?
Migration to Phnom Penh accounts for about half of (all) the out of province migration in Cambodia (CRUMP 2012)
With 22% of rural-urban migrants reported working in the garment sector; and 22% in small businesses.
Appropriate and affordable accommodation/housing units are required,
But the lack there of has often resulted in the creation of informal and slum settlements in Phnom Penh.
Urban Housing Challenges (Cont.) 2
24
Nationally 95% of roofs are made of tile, fibro cement, concrete and zinc (Phnom Penh: 41% from tile and concrete)
Nationally 81% of wall made of wood, brick, zinc, fibro cement, concrete (Phnom Penh: 72% from brick and concrete)
Floor: 76% made of clay, plywood, bamboo, etc. (Phnom Penh: 79% made of strong materials)
Housing Quality and Security 1
25
Recently published figures (2016) indicates that 4 million plot titles have been issued over the last decade (since 2004), through a number of programs including systematic and sporadic titling as well as under Circular #01 (2012)
2.5 million titles issued through the systematic titling program while over >3million plots have been surveyed (in rough half of districts/Khans (108/197) in the country)
Sporadic titling: 600,00 0titles (including transfer titles)
Circular #01: in 357 communes with 560,000 titles issued
Roughly, 30% of urban families in 27 municipalities/ 12 Khans may have a property title (CIUS, 2016) based on reported Ministry of Planning figures (2014)
Housing Quality and Security (Cont.) 2
26
Nationally 51% of households have access to an improved water supply, with > 90% in Phnom Penh, 64 in other urban areas and just 42% in Rural areas
58% of households are connected to grid with nearly total coverage (>90%) in urban areas while just 47% of rural households, 31% of households mainly in rural areas rely on battery.
1980’s-2014, roughly 500 informal sentiments were identified in Phnom Penh alone (however there is no unified agreement on what and where these were). Officially Phnom Penh now recognized just 250 consolidated settlements
In the ~54 Municipal relocation sites around Phnom Penh, around 20% of households are not connected to water supply and sanitation (ADB).
Access to Utilities & Services
27
Slum Housing (Urban Areas only) The United Nations (2016) reports that 55% of the urban
population in 2014 in Cambodia lived in slum housing! which equated to ~1.7 million people? This is based country household data using four of the five components of
slum (improved water, improved sanitation, durable housing and sufficient living area).
While a CIUS assessment would indicated that figures are likely to range from 147,000-276,000 (20-38% of urban ) households, equivalent to 730,000- 1.3 million people, are possibly living in slum conditions. Dependent on how strictly you interpreted the possible criteria, for example
if having a wooden floor results in the house being considered a slum house?
This comes about because there is currently a lack of consensus on what “adequate housing “ means and is defined in the Cambodian context.
28
By 2030, around 80,000 new HHs/year will be needed (Est.),
With 47% in urban areas
With a major challenge will be the increase in commercial land prices (by 35%, and 50% for residential land price during the last 3 years)
No clear studies yet on the demand for housing, but the current supply is driven by a speculative market
Solely targeting higher income population (no demand forecast)

Cambodia is only beginning to effectively consider and try to address it housing challenges with
Four priorities for housing being identified by Government:
Tenure security;
Access to Utilities and services;
Quality of construction; and
Access to housing by the poor
Some early efforts have being made through social land concession activities,
Though how good these have being is still questioned?

Beginning to Addressing Urban Housing Challenges 2
Other efforts have included:
The 2010 Circular No. 03 on the “Resolution of Temporary Settlement on Land Which Has Been Illegally Occupied in the Capital, Municipal, and Urban Areas”,
The impact(s) of this and its application are difficult to qualify?
The comprehensive and generally well regarded National Housing Policy adopted in 2014,
Which now needs to be better acted upon.
and
▪ The DRAFT “Policy on Incentives and the Establishment of a National Program for the Development of Affordable Housing “ which is currently being worked on
33
Based on the Draft Affordable housing policy
Not more than 30% of total income should be spent on housing (Proposed)
A National Program for Supporting Affordable Housing, particularly for young families/working age groups which should

Access to an improved quality and safety, and
Access to utilities
