Project Details

AHI assisted the Municipality of Ulaanbaatar to develop an affordable housing strategy for Ulaanbaatar and provide input for a national housing strategy. Mongolia is undergoing rapid urbanization, the rise of sprawling informal ger settlements, and worsening air pollution due to coal-burning stoves and a lack of formal infrastructure networks. With more than a third of Mongolia’s residents living in Ulaanbaatar, the capital faces considerable pressure to identify strategies for city development that focus on upgrading informal ger settlement areas and offering affordable housing solutions for its new and long-term residents. As the Prime Consultant to the Municipality, AHI assessed housing sector issues in Ulaanbaatar, facilitated stakeholder workshops, designed and conducted capacity building workshops for public and private sector institutions, and ultimately designed an affordable housing strategy and program.
