Housing is one of the most important aspects of people’s lives and adequate housing is recognized as a basic human right. Being sheltered from weather conditions and having a sense of security, privacy and personal space is a basic need. Adequate housing is also essential for people’s health and it affects childhood development (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, 2011). Housing issues are clearly stated in Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 11 of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development: “Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable”. Also, SDG target indicator 11.1 aims to measure the “Proportion of urban population living in slums, informal settlements or inadequate housing”.
