Urban land markets have a profound effect on how well poor households are able to access the jobs, amenities and services offered in the city. But often the way in which this market works frustrate attempts to open up better located living and business opportunities for poorer urban households and communities, despite government policies and programmes intended to address these challenges. The challenge in South Africa is even larger because of worsening poverty and inequality, and the continuing growth of cities through urbanisation.

A case study
Ressources et Outils d'entraînementjanvier, 2010Afrique du SudThis case study examines specific examples of localised and informal land registration practices in South Africa.

The Growth Challenge--Can Ugandan Cities Get to Work?
Rapports et recherchesRessources et Outils d'entraînementfévrier, 2015Ouganda, AfriqueThis Fifth Edition of the Uganda Economic Update presents evidence that if the urbanization process is well managed, it has the potential to stimulate economic growth and to provide productive jobs for a greater proportion of Uganda’s young and rapidly expanding population. In many countries across the world, the growth of cities has stimulated the establishment and expansion of productive businesses by reducing the distance between suppliers and customers.
