| Abstract | Due to the rapid urbanization and economic boom during the
past three decades, more and more urban households are suffering
from high housing costs. Providing affordable housing to the
market- disadvantaged groups is a most urgent issue for the
Government of Taiwan. Because of the shortage of urban l a nd a nd
limited finance , the government has responded to the problem by a
public housing development policy. However this public housing
development has not produced sufficient results over the years,
in terms of quantity, quality and allocation.
The purpo se of this study is to r evi ew the public hou s ing
programme and policy of the nationa l government by s tudying the
existing public hous ing system in Ta iwa n a nd the c omparative
experience of Hong Kong a nd Singapore , and then to recommend a n
efficient public hous ing system for the urban areas in Ta iwa n.
The present study reviews and assesses the urban public
housing policy in t hese three countries on the following policy
e l e me nts : (1) the institutional framework, (2) measures f or
hous ing development, (3) strategy for target group, a nd ( 4 )
manageme nt of housing d eve lopme nt and estates , so as to ide ntify
the inefficiencies of exi sting urba n public hous ing policy in
Taiwan a nd the recommendations fo r its improvement.
The result of t his study s hows that urban public ho using
policy i s s u ccessfully imp l emented by a s ing l e functional body in
both Hong Kong a nd Singapore, and they are empowered to d eve lop
and ma naged the ir public housing est ates in a l arge and
economical scal e in the ir new towns. These measures h ave e nabled
them to ach ieve a s uccessful result. But the urban public hou s ing
po l icy in Taiwa n is impl ement ed in a reverse way which is the
main factor of its uns u ccessful outcomes. The recommendations a r e
