The Slovakian State Housing Programme (SSHP) has used a series of five-year plans and is a good illustration of long-term cumulative housing reform. 

The project has the objective of providing housing for the impoverished riverside communities of Manaus (Brazil), living in precarious and risky situations.

The programme was to rehabilitate an old building with multiple historical layers in the centre of Cádiz, which was already occupied by several families.

Social impact bonds (SIBs) are used in very diverse contexts around the world and across social issues.

Soft urban renewal[1] is an approach to improving dilapidated areas which has been implemented since the mid-1970s in Vienna. The Viennese approach has been widely accepted as international best practice, offering inspiration for other cities.[2]

The City of Munich in Germany has adopted a long-term policy for the use of land that it owns.

The five 'sphinxes' each contain fourteen apartments arranged so as to make the most of the location and sun light. The blocks taper in plan towards the water thereby maximising unobstructed views of the lake both from the shore and from the apartments. As one moves up the building, each floor contains one less apartment. The result is a sphinx-like profile with the sun-oriented roof terraces situated on the slanting ‘back’ of the mythical beast. The design of the penthouse apartments is different for each block giving rise to a rhythm of distinctive heads - a striking skyline seen from the shore approach of the Stichtse Bridge that links the new polders with the old mainland.

The State Housing Development Fund (SHDF) of Slovakia was established in 1996 as a revolving fund to finance the priorities of the Government of Slovakia defined in the State Housing Policy Concept.
