Reforming Urban Land Policies and Institutions in Developing Countries. Urban Management and Land.

摘要

The report assesses the various institutions and policy instruments that affect the functioning of land markets. It focuses primarily on the institutional and mechanical issues that affect access to and supply of urban land, and therefore takes the viewpoint of both the consumers and producers of urban land. The main objectives of the report are to highlight the factors that limit the supply of urban land and its availability and to provide a framework for introducing reforms. The assumption is that the accumulation over time of different institutions and instruments that have reflected different priorities and policies have prevented land markets from operating efficiently and equitably and have often achieved conflicting results. In conclusion, the report offers recommendations for improvement and provides a conceptual framework for analyzing issues of an institutional nature as well as methods of improving policy instruments.
