Evaluation and Optimization of the Financial Sustainability of Public Rental Housing Projects: A Case Study in Nanjing, China

“…The factors which affect the market orientation of semi-public service organizations in their transition from public to private are explained with a case study in Dutch housing associations [11]. Italian housing policies have shifted from central state provision towards a multi-level local governance organized into partnerships between regions, municipalities, third-sector and private investors since the turn of the new millennium [12].
