HOUSING AND COMMUNAL ACTIVITY IN 1962 (IN YUGOSLAVIA)

Summary/Abstract: The housing and communal policy in 1962 was directed towards improvements in legislation in the sense of the further transfer of powers and responsibilities to republics and to communes. As a result of increased investment in housing programs, the development of the building industry, and a growing interest in housing construction on the part of working organizations (enterprises) and communes, there was a further rise in the number of new flats built in 1962. This had a favorable bearing on the housing standard as a whole, with the number of newly built flats per thousand inhabitants going up from 2.5 in 1957 to 5.3 in 1962. The total number of new flats built in the country as a whole caught up with that mapped out by the Plan, but housing construction in towns lagged behind planned targets. Such movements make it necessary to take adequate measures for more rational housing construction, an improvement in the position of building enterprises, and also adequate changes in the system of crediting housing construction programs.
