Mapping and framing security of tenure 2013, para. 6
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- The political economy of land deeply influences processes of development, urbanization and housing. Land speculation, as well as large-scale acquisition of land in rural areas-often non-transparent and managed poorly-undermine tenure rights and local livelihoods. Coupled with drought and other climate-related changes, such activities are major drivers of migration to cities, where adequate land and housing is often not available to newcomers, especially the poor. As a result, people settle in housing and settlements with insecure tenure arrangements. Unplanned and exclusionary urbanization has obvious impacts on tenure security.
