ABSTRACT
Historically speaking, Serbia has never developed a full-fledged social housing policy, and the housing policy challenges of the interwar period were very similar to those that exist today. Some parallel issues are (a) the need to develop a complex strategic approach to housing at both the national and local levels as a precondition for economically efficient and socially effective social housing programs; (b) tackling the effects of the lack of coordination of housing construction for the poor; and (c) the ‘slumification’ and ghettoization of housing for the poor, in part due to informal construction strategies (Vukasnović-Macura 2011).
