The second paper (Mooya and Cloete) uses the tools of the New Institutional Economics to analyze the argument in Hernando DeSoto's path-breaking book, The Mystery of Capital, that full legal tide is the key to turning 'dead capital' in the form of informal property held by many low-income families into an economic asset and to detonating broad-based economic growth. The paper concludes that intermediate forms of tenure can have the virtues of full legal tide if properly constructed, and then examines the case of Namibia in this context. The third paper (Fernandes) documents and assesses the recent efforts of the Brazilian federal Ministry of Cities to develop a comprehensive approach for regularizing title throughout that country. In the fourth paper, Abramo gives a structural and theoretical over-view of informal settlement in Brazil. The fifth paper (Rakodi) looks at traditional land delivery systems in five medium-sized Sub-Saharan African cities, and concludes that policies and programs can build on their strengths.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOAFFORDABLE HOUSINGAFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENTAIRAPARTMENTSARCHITECTARCHITECTUREBARRIOBOTTLENECKSBUSBUS FAREBUS JOURNEYSBUS OPERATIONBUS RIDERSHIPBUS SERVICEBUS SERVICESBUS SYSTEMBUS SYSTEMSBUS TRIPSBUSESBUSINESS DISTRICTSCARCARSCASUAL WORKCBDCENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICTCENTRAL CITIESCENTRAL CITYCITIESCITIES ALLIANCECITY AUTHORITIESCITY CENTRECITY GOVERNMENTSCITY MANAGEMENTCITY PROFILECOMMUNITIESCOMMUNITY DEVELOPMENTCOMMUNITY PARTICIPATIONCOUNTRYSIDECRIMEDEVELOPING COUNTRY CITIESDRAINAGEDRINKING WATERECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTEFFICIENT TRANSPORTENGINEERENGINEERSENVIRONMENTAL ECONOMICSEVICTIONEVICTIONSEXPRESS SERVICESEXPRESSWAYSEXTERNALITIESFARESFAVELAFAVELASFEMALEHABITATHEALTH CAREHOMESHOSPITALSHOTELHOUSEHOLDSHOUSESHOUSINGHOUSING AFFORDABILITYHOUSING CONDITIONSHOUSING DEVELOPMENTHOUSING ESTATESHOUSING FINANCEHOUSING MANAGEMENTHOUSING MARKETSHOUSING POLICYHOUSING PROJECTSHOUSING RIGHTSHOUSING SUBSIDIESHUMAN SETTLEMENTSINFORMAL EMPLOYMENTINFORMAL HOUSINGINFORMAL LANDINFORMAL LAND DELIVERYINFORMAL LAND DELIVERY SYSTEMSINFORMAL SETTLEMENTINFORMAL SETTLEMENTSINHABITANTSIRREGULAR SETTLEMENTJOB OPPORTUNITIESLACK OF CREDITLAND DEVELOPMENTLAND MANAGEMENTLAND MARKETSLAND POLICIESLAND TENURELAND TENURE REGULARIZATIONLAND USELEASINGLEGAL TITLELIBRARIESLIGHT RAILLIVING STANDARDSLOCAL DEVELOPMENTLOCAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTLOCAL GOVERNMENTLOCAL ROADSLONG-DISTANCELOW INCOMELOW-INCOMELOW-INCOME SETTLEMENTSMANY CITIESMETROPOLITAN AREAMETROPOLITAN AREASMETROPOLITAN POPULATIONMUNICIPAL CORPORATIONMUNICIPAL DEVELOPMENTMUNICIPAL DEVELOPMENT FUNDMUNICIPAL SERVICESNATIONAL TRANSPORTNEIGHBORHOODSNEIGHBOURHOODSOCCUPATIONOVERCROWDINGPASSENGER VOLUMESPAVEMENT DWELLERSPERIPHERAL AREASPOOR NEIGHBORHOODSPOOR PEOPLEPOPULATION DENSITYPOVERTY REDUCTIONPROPERTY RIGHTSPROPERTY TAXPUBLIC FINANCEPUBLIC HEALTHPUBLIC HOUSINGPUBLIC INVESTMENTPUBLIC LIGHTINGPUBLIC TRANSPORTPUBLIC TRANSPORT SYSTEMSPUBLIC UTILITIESQUALITY HOUSINGQUALITY OF TRANSPORTRAILRAIL SYSTEMSRAILWAYRAPID TRANSITREGIONAL DEVELOPMENTREGIONAL PLANNINGRENTAL HOUSINGRENTALSRESETTLEMENTRESIDENTIAL MOBILITYRESIDENTIAL SEGREGATIONRESIDENTIAL ZONESROADROAD NETWORKROUTESRURAL AREASSANITATIONSECONDARY CITIESSECURE TENURESECURITY OF TENURESELF-HELPSERVICED LANDSETTLEMENTSHACKSSHANTYTOWNSSHELTERSIDEWALKSSLUMSLUM AREASSLUM IMPROVEMENTSLUM UPGRADINGSLUMSSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL EXCLUSIONSOCIAL HOUSINGSQUATTERSQUATTER SETTLEMENTSSQUATTINGSTREET LIGHTINGSTREETSSUBDIVISIONSSUSTAINABLE URBAN DEVELOPMENTTAXTAX REVENUETENEMENTSTHIRD WORLD CITIESTRAFFICTRAFFIC CONGESTIONTRANSITTRANSIT SYSTEMSTRANSPARENCYTRANSPORTTRANSPORT ECONOMICSTRANSPORT SERVICETRANSPORT STUDIESTRANSPORTATIONTRANSPORTATION CORRIDORSTRANSPORTATION POLICIESTRAVEL DISTANCESTRUEUNDERGROUNDUNSATISFIED BASIC NEEDSURBANURBAN AFFAIRSURBAN AGGLOMERATIONSURBAN AGRICULTUREURBAN AREASURBAN BUSURBAN COREURBAN DEVELOPMENTURBAN DEVELOPMENT CORPORATIONURBAN DWELLERSURBAN ECONOMICSURBAN ECONOMYURBAN FRINGEURBAN GOVERNANCEURBAN GROWTHURBAN INDICATORSURBAN LANDURBAN MANAGEMENTURBAN MANAGERSURBAN PERIPHERYURBAN PLANNERSURBAN PLANNINGURBAN POLICIESURBAN POLICYURBAN POORURBAN POPULATIONURBAN POPULATION GROWTHURBAN POVERTYURBAN PROPERTYURBAN RESEARCHURBAN SECTORURBAN SERVICESURBAN SPRAWLURBAN STUDIESURBAN TRANSPORTURBAN UPGRADINGURBANISMURBANISTURBANIZATIONVEHICLESWATER SUPPLYWEALTHZONING10.1596/21557
