Land Conflicts

The book uses a fact-based, analytical approach and progresses through key themes. It begins by defining main concepts like land tenure and urban planning. It then analyzes the root causes of land disputes, such as informal settlements and inadequate land administration. It also evaluates the impacts of policies, like land regularization and zoning, on land distribution. Case studies from various global contexts support the analysis, providing a framework for equitable land management through integrated policies.

Ultimately, this book is valuable for policymakers, urban planners, and academics seeking to understand the complexities of land conflicts and develop strategies for promoting equitable land distribution in urban environments. It delves into ongoing debates, such as balancing private property rights with public interest, and the role of government intervention in land markets.
