  Urban LandMark, 2013

  Incrementally securing tenure: promising practices in informal settlement upgrading in southern Africa

  Urban LandMark, 2013

  Known as the “urbanisation of poverty”, about 62% of people today in towns and cities in sub-Saharan Africa live in informal settlements. The current paper reveals that land management in these conditions is under extreme pressure, and efforts to secure tenure among the urban poor are dominated by the paradigm of individual title implemented through large-scale titling schemes.
