Land and Secure Tenure
UN-HABITAT
is soon to publish a handbook
on Security of Tenure and
Access to Land. It identifies
some of the innovations
at the global level in the
field of land management
and identifies land tenure
trends. It shows how governments,
including local government
and other stakeholders,
are coming to grips with
implementing the land related
principles enshrined in
the Habitat Agenda at a
practical level in the cities
and towns.
It is
useful as a benchmark to
assess at a global level
the tools, methods and approaches
that exist for the implementation
of the Global Campaign for
Secure Tenure, and to identify
the gaps, blockages and
problems that still need
to be addressed. |
