Rapid economic growth is fueling a massive increase in the urban population of emerging and frontier market cities. Across Africa, Brazil, India and many other fast growing economies, growth is putting enormous pressure on existing urban housing infrastructure, much of which is decades old and already insufficient. According to UN Habitat, the housing backlog in Zimbabwe stands at a staggering 1.2 million houses. In the capital city Harare alone, the backlog stands at over 180 000. Housing infrastructure is not the only thing feeling the heat of rapid growth, the environment is too and DFL sees the expansion of urban housing as an opportunity to set the standard for environmentally sustainable construction, while providing local jobs, skills and development.
Design for Life has called on the world’s best and brightest to provide a housing solution that is attractive, durable and environmentally sustainable.

- Huge market demand that continues to grow both domestically and for export
- Competitive advantages (cost/quality/time) that will last a long time
