Sinossi
Land Conflicts examines why land disputes persist despite increasing urbanization, significantly impacting equitable development. It highlights the crucial role of land tenure security and effective governmental interventions in fostering sustainable urban growth. The book argues that fair land distribution is not only an economic or technical issue but is deeply intertwined with power dynamics, social equity, and political will. Readers will understand the historical context of land ownership and property rights systems, alongside the social, economic, and political forces that influence land policy. 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.
