This timely and thought-provoking book examines the contemporary
struggle of communities over land ownership and use rights in
rapidly urbanising areas. Analysing 12 key case studies from across
four continents, it demonstrates changes in land and housing
tenancy systems, showing how communities have revolted against the
land hunger of speculators, agrobusiness and technocratic local
authorities. Contributions from an international team of
researchers, policy analysts and experts explore both neoliberal
urban development policies and socially innovative initiatives,
discussing different modes of solidarity action and commons
building to ensure both access to land and housing security.
Chapters also introduce a critical governance perspective to land
tenure dynamics and examine the increasingly prominent
hybridisation of land use rights systems and land markets,
providing a state-of-the-art reflection of the field and
contributing to an agenda for future research, policy and practice.
Academics studying urban and regional planning, social innovation,
and commoning will find this book to be essential reading. It will
also interest policy makers and civil society organisations looking
for a stronger understanding of land dynamics and urbanisation in
order to set up new forms of land governance. Contributors include:
