Applying good governance to urban land management : why and how?
Holger Magel and Babette Wehrmann
Because of German surveyors becoming increasingly involved in the international debate on land management, this article focuses on actual world-wide trends. Urban growth rates are still very high in many developing countries. As a result of the uncontrolled and uncoordinated growth of many cities, urban development is far from being sustainable. The paper shows how the incorporation of the norms of good urban governance, sustainablility, subsidiarity, equity, efficiency, transparency and accountability, civic management and citizenship, and security, in urban land management offers ways to improve the actual saituation.
