Financing issues received major attention in the discussions of human settlement development policy through the preparatory process for Habitat II and at the Conference itself. This paper presents an overview of the existing knowledge and policy experience in housing finance and urban infrastructure finance taking note of changes in economic environment such as globalisation, financial liberalisation and decentralisation as well as progress made over the past two decades using cases of good practice. Despite the positive developments such as micro-finance and private-public partnerships, the financing challenge of today is no smaller than before. It includes how to tap the enormous wealth generated through continued urbanisation to improve the conditions in housing and basic services of all income groups and how to translate the willingness to pay of citizens into efficient, accountable and responsive service delivery. The solution requires not only financial innovation but also good governance and political commitment.

Slums, informal settlements, and dilapidated inner-city tenements are problems that many cities in Asia and the Pacific struggle with while their economies try to modernize and develop. Their existence puts at risk not only these economies but also poor people occupying vulnerable areas that climate change and natural disasters will only make worse. Slums are being addressed in countries in Asia and the Pacific but not yet at the rate required to create livable cities. ADB's Strategy 2020 aims for "livable cities" and will address the range of problems resulting from rapid urbanization and the limited capacity of basic service delivery associated with present and future urban growth. To accomplish the vision of livable cities, livelihood opportunities and shelter options of incremental land and housing development are important. ADB's developing member countries will look for viable lending opportunities to finance inclusive cities.
