  2. Land and Shelter: Size of Challenge • Half of humanity lives in cities • By 2050 urban population doubles to 5.3 billion • Urban growth synonymous with slum formation • Space taken by cities increases by 175% by 2030 • Need to build 96,000 housing units a day to keep pace with 2030 projections

  3. Land and Shelter: Gap Analysis in Land • Conventional land administration –lots of work • GLTN innovative pro poor land tools – improved from 6 years ago • Political-technical link • Land governance mainstreamed • Range of rights & individual freehold approach • Pro poor land tools huge agenda – take years

  4. Land and Shelter: Gap Analysis in Shelter • Need new concept of shelter/housing policy • Lack commonly accepted framework • Fallen off agenda of governments, bilaterals & development banks • Burden shifted to private sector – formal & informal • No general model for social housing • No robust link between land & housing • Slum upgrading – need robust solutions

  5. Land and Shelter: Key Land Issues • No political will & prioritisation • Individual title emphasis • Inequitable land & subsidy redistribution • Incomplete land registration & LI • Insufficient pro poor land tools • Need to balance competing interests • Planning & non compliance • Complex state structure –coalition of interests, levels of decentralisation, public & private, different arms of government • 8. Robust strategies & tactics over time, judicial activism, media, lobbying, managing strategic repositioning.

  6. Land and Shelter: Key Shelter Issues • Major shelter backlog • Rapid demand –war, disaster • No political will & prioritisation • Focus too narrow – technical understanding not HR & socio-cultural • Relocation & resettlement/demolition • Slum prevention – systemic • Access to basic infrastructure • Municipality in critical path – limited financial & human resources • Making land and housing markets work • Alternative shelter and tenure options • Enabling regulatory frameworks

  7. Land and Shelter: Conclusions • Put shelter issues back on global agenda • Develop & undertake research for evidence creation, learning and advocacy particularly for shelter • Link land and housing more robustly • Continue pro poor & innovative land tools focus and upscale faster
