Urban Tenure

In this completely revised and updated issue page we explore the different settings in which rapid urbanisation is taking place, focusing primarily on the global South. We highlight how climate change, demographic shifts, deep inequality, rising precarity, conflict, displacement and migration impact on patterns of urbanisation. See how these factors influence urban land governance and tenure security.
