Dynamic models for understanding infrastructure and housing investments ACC Sustainable Human Settlements Citylab • Urban Transformation: Challenges For Infrastructure & Housing Provision Nick Graham 30th October 2012
Why use dynamic models? • To understand the multiple processes and variables that simultaneously affect housing supply and demand • To understand the interactions between housing, infrastructure, transport, space and money. Example: eThekwini Housing Model Example: City Efficiency Costing Model
Supply and demand in the housing market at city scale Demographic growth Policy Household fragmentation Funding Economic growth Survival strategies / Market forces
Dynamic housing model Input data Scenario data Outputs Demographics • Demographic and economic growth scenarios: • MSFM projections • User-defined • Uniform DEMAND Housing stock status quo Housing dynamic • Delivery scenarios: • Unconstrained • Match programme to funding • Eliminate backlog • Static delivery SUPPLY Delivery programme Funding shortfall • Funding scenarios: • Constrained • Unconstrained Capital funding AFFORDABILITY
Learning • Interventions need to be understood in the context of market distortion and general supply shortage • Targets, budgets and programmes do not tie up and are unrealistic.

Learning • There is no apparent capital financial incentive for the City or State to densify • Capital costs are strongly driven by top structure costs and land costs, not by infrastructure costs • Short-term capital decisions outweigh longer term operating cost savings • The majority of the costs of urban sprawl and potential benefits of a compact city, are borne by households and the environment, and not by developers, the City or the State.
