Abstract

This collection of essays is one in a series of books on local and urban governance, bringing together scholarship from different disciplines in the humanities and social sciences. It is aimed at readers from urban specialisms in law, geography and other social sciences and professionals and policymakers concerned with land-use planning, surveying and governance. Urban land governance has arisen recently as a policy concern influencing, practices, discourses and institutions in the area. A narrative or genealogy is presented of when and how the concept came about, involving complex policy developments at international, regional and national levels. The case of the African continent, particularly sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), is discussed, having acquired importance because of its particular history and growth rates of both population and urbanisation. The chapter contributions in this book are then outlined and how they contribute to evolving ideas on urban land governance.
