Participatory and Inclusive Land Readjustment (PILaR)

Land ReadjustmentsUN-Habitat has proposed a new approach for land readjustment called PILaR - Participatory and Inclusive Land Readjustment. The approach addresses many of the challenges of conventional land readjustment.

The approach also emphasizes early and consistent, but realistic, stakeholder participation to encourage community input and the ultimate ownership of the urban redevelopment.

What Land Means to Youth

Today, there are more than 1.2 billion youth in the  world, the largest number of youth ever to have  existed. These youth live, by and large, in cities and towns; the cities of the   developing world account for over 90 per cent of the world’s urban growth and youth account for a large percentage of those inhabitants. It is estimated that as many as 60 per cent of all urban dwellers will be under the age of 18 by 2030. This urban demographic “youth bulge” represents both a challenge as well as an untapped potential in moving the land rights and tenure security agenda forward. Youth are increasingly mobile, social and creative in a rapidly transforming world. This means that the needs and attitudes toward land are changing too.
