Flowever, the governmental social housing projects under the 2006 Housing Law targeted a set of very specific social groups, namely “state employees, officials, government staff, government officers, and workers in economic zones, industrial, productive and high tech areas” (2006 Housing Law, article 53). Projects that have impacted urban areas for instance included housing support for such categories as “meritorious people”, social housing for students, housing for workers in industrial zones, and housing for officials. In fact, the scheme meant supporting some privileged groups and leaving out large segments of the urban poor such as the unemployed, low paid workers, privately or informally employed people, thereby illustrating a segmented and unco-ordinated approach to social housing.
