Rakodi, Carole

This paper will report on some of the findings from a recent research project that has examined contemporary informal land delivery systems in six medium-sized cities in Anglophone Africa: Eldoret in Kenya, Kampala in Uganda, Lusaka in Zambia, Maseru in Lesotho, Gaborone in Botswana, and Enugu in Nigeria1. The aim of the project was to improve understanding of informal urban land development processes. It analysed the characteristics of contemporary informal land markets and delivery systems.
