Book excerpt: This thesis aims to investigate the roles of public-private partnerships (PPP) in the affordable housing industry. This thesis examines the "Agent Construction System" (ACS) business model in affordable housing development in China, the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) system for affordable housing in United States, and more specifically, the New York City Housing Authority's Permanent Affordability Commitment Together (NYCHA PACT) program to bring private partners into public housing in New York City. Conscious of the difference in the local social, political and economic environment, and hence the vast varieties in the practices of PPP in housing, the literature review will provide an overview of the concept of PPP in affordable housing, and its practice in different countries. Current literature includes discussion on the application of PPP in housing in cities including Kolkata, India, and Hong Kong, as well as broader discussions on such us in countries including Malaysia and Nigeria.
