Abstract<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1990, team members at the Unit for Housing and Urbanization (the Unit) at Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design authored a report on urban development case studies, “Regularizing the Informal Land Development Process,”<\/strong> for the USAID Office of Housing and Urban Programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report focused on organizational disconnects between informal housing and formal planning development for urban communities, considering case studies on land development and legal considerations for nine urban municipalities across Asia, Africa, and the Americas: Navi Mumbai, India; Jakarta, Indonesia; Bangkok, Thailand; Mexico City, Mexico; Caracas, Venezuela; Cairo, Egypt; Amman, Jordan; Abidjan, C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire; Conakry, Guinea; Kinshasa, Congo; and Lusaka, Zambia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies discuss three points for each city region:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Informal land development processes; <\/li>
  2. Regularization of informal land development; and<\/li>
  3. Legal and institutional frameworks for land regularization. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
