The purpose of this dialogue is to exchange views and experiences on land administration and property rights and share lessons learned from success stories as well as failures.

Key issues: Factors influencing informal settlements. The diversity of patterns of informal settlement development and correspondingly the diverse policy solutions needed. Including the Gender perspective. Making property rights and land administration systems inclusive.

Compared with other continents, Asia holds enormous capital markets serving strong private commercial sectors. In the “tiger economies” this is being facilitated by strong public structures. What is missing in order to link upgrading of the urban slums to the cash flow?

Key issues: A balanced coordination of the factor markets, which is currently lacking, especially in the land sector. Sharing experiences in upgrading of informal settlements. Identifying options to link the improvement of the livelihood of slum-dwellers in Asia to the booming labour, land- and credit markets.

The purpose of this dialogue is to exchange views and experiences on land administration and property rights and share lessons learned from success stories as well as failures.

Key issues: Factors influencing informal settlements. The diversity of patterns of informal settlement development and correspondingly the diverse policy solutions needed. Including the Gender perspective. Making property rights and land administration systems inclusive.

More than 50 million people in at least 15 European countries are affected by poor land administration and cadastre systems, with a lack of clarity and transparency in land tenure and property rights. Lack of clear planning regimes or a lack of enforcement of existing plans lead to practices of massive illegal construction in urban areas. The Dialogue will address a number of factors influencing informal settlements, in the diverse patterns of their development.

Key issues: Legalisation and inclusion of informal settlements in regulatory urban plans. Provision of essential social and technical infrastructure. Resettlement programs in social housing.

The purpose of this dialogue is to exchange experiences from land administration in informal settlements and how it can lead to improved access to credit for the settlers.

Key issues: Innovative solutions for affordable and accessible land registration. Can it be done without knowing the legal situation? Demands on land registration from the credit providers. How land administration can improve municipal upgrading planning and implementation, Should decentralised land administration be the local customary or formalized as part of local government? Systems for taxation and collection of fees in informal settlements. Improving women’s access to secure property and finance.

Cities are the engines for a sustainable development on the whole, and sustainability needs a long term perspective. An efficient planning process will: Cut the costs, Involve the rights of the poor and Enable adequate finance.

Key issues: Openness, transparency and clear guidance on efficient planning processes. Policy coordination with land, infrastructure, legal, and financial systems. Useful methods and guidelines for planning, and how to find and use them. Legislation. Appropriate regulations in respect to land-use, zoning, and building. Open access to information that can facilitate and unlock the planning processes. Essential data. Collection, maintenance and costumers. Ownership issues. Pinpointing data that is needed by other actors, and efficient mechanisms for their provision.

Well functioning finance systems are essential to address the problems of slum upgrading and slum prevention.

Key issues: Highlight the different links that need to be developed between the local market needs and the housing finance that is getting more and more global. How the flows from the private financial sector could be directed also towards the emerging markets. How to define the roles of public sector versus private markets? Regulations and incentives.

Slums represent a market and the slum dwellers in general pay more for less financial services.

Key issues: The size of the informal and potential markets. The importance of microfinance, Effects of the current development and Ways to expand more into low-income housing. Ways to expand mortgage finance. Mortgage finance coverage in developing countries. Degree of access to market rate housing finance. Terms and conditions. Valuation of real estate; How to facilitate and expand access to key information -Transparency, Reliability, Accessibility.
