  HOUSING DEVELOPMENT IS CREATING SPRAWL AND NEED TO BE CONTAINED ESPECIALLY IN GREATER ACCRA. IT IS CAUSING EXCESSIVE COST IN PROVISION OF INFRASTRUCTURE. LET THE LAND COMMISSION CREAT SUBDIVISIONS AND ZONE THESE AREAS AND UNTIL ONE AREA IS FULL OTHER AREAS WILL NOT START.. NEIGHBOURHOODS TO BE ZONED AND IF YOU CANNOT AFFORD A STOREY HOUSE, YOU CANNOT BUILD THERE. IT WILL CUT DOWN COST ON POWER, ROADS, WATER ETC. FEW HOUSES FIVE KILOMETRES AWAY WHILE THE LAND IN BETWEEN LIES FALLOW. SYSTEMATIC SUBDIVISION DEVELOPMENT BRINGS INFRASTRUCTURE COSTS DOWN SUBSTANTIALLY. THE AREA IS SOLD TO THE DEVELOPER, BUILDS THE HOUSES ACCORDING TO THE ZONING AND SELLS THE HOUSES BE IT FLATS, BUNGALOWS WITH EVERYTHING INCLUSIVE. COST OF ROADS, LAND, POWER, GAS, WATER IS BORNE BY THE DEVELOPER FOR THE UTILITY COMPANIES. THE COST OF THE HOUSES HAS THE COST OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE INCLUDED IN THE SUBDIVISION DEVELOPMENT. IN DEVELOPED COUNTRIES, THE INFRASTRUCTURE COMES IN FIRST BEFORE THE STRUCTURES SUCH AS HOUSING.
