Chea Sophara, minister of land management, urban planning and construction, told a housing forum this week that Phnom Penh alone would require an additional 800,000 dwellings built over the next 13 years.

The population of Cambodia’s capital city, he added, was due to increase by more than 50 percent to 7.9 million by 2030.

“To respond to this demand, the ministry has been very active in implementing the national housing policy, linking to urban planning policy to promote and support every type of housing development, especially affordable houses,” he said.
Sophara added that the government had entered into two public-private partnerships to build the new affordable houses: World Land Bridge and PNPN.

The efforts to build affordable modern homes were met with skepticism in some quarters, with experts pointing to a history of urban land grabs and dispossession.

Affordability hadn't been on the radar of the "urban planners" do far at all. I'd be interested in knowing to what projects they would support. All there is now is totally overpriced condos and shitty boreys in the middle of nowhere.

They have been talking about affordability recently, a few projects have started. Obviously it should have been thought about way back. Now we have tens of thousands of condos that I'm not sure all that many can afford, even if they wanted to live in one. Without proper care and maintenance those places turn into slums in no time, and there's nothing any individual can do about it.
