The GHS series volume VII: Housing from a human settlement perspective (In-depth analysis of the General Household Survey: 2002-2014) "report looks at housing within the broader context of the settlements in which they are located and the ideas around the concept of adequate housing which includes security of tenure and access to basic services amongst other dimensions.

This study focuses on adequate housing within the context of human settlements as referred to in the Constitution, NDP 2030 and the Breaking New Ground (BNG) Comprehensive Plan for the Development of Sustainable Human Settlements. Densification and integration are two of the primary mechanisms promoted by the NDP and BNG in an effort to re‐imagine urban space and to break the spatial settlement patterns created by apartheid."
