The evolution of modern cadastres
Williamson, Ian
Today's modern cadastres have evolved form the European cadastres of the 18th and 19th centuries, with the French Napoleonic Cadastre and the "Maria Theresia Cadastre" introduced by the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy having the major influence. This influence spread to much of the non-ENglish speaking world. However it was not until the last 20 years or so that the English speaking world also discovered cadastres and started systematically applying cadastral principles to their land administration systems. The result is that today virtually every country world wide is aware of the importance of cadastres to some degree.
