Böcker av Geoffrey Payne

A practice-oriented manual that tackles the issue of regulatory frameworks for urban upgrading and housing development, and how they impact on access to adequate, affordable shelter and other key livelihood assets, in particular for the urban poor.

This book examines the complex issues surrounding land tenure, and the challenges they present for urban planners in the South and in the transition economies of Eastern Europe. It discusses examples where authorities, non-governmental organizations or communities have evolved practical, innovative approaches to providing tenure for the urban poor.
