Chapter 4 : Land Administration for Housing Production

Overview The integration of land administration processes and the collaboration of land agencies are considered essential for the effective delivery of developable land for housing production. However, in most countries, housing and land management policies are usually split between multiple government agencies. The background literature suggests that the activities of governments’ agencies that perform these functions are disparate and lack harmonisation. The lack of integration allows land administration agencies to operate according to their internal norms and functions. As a result, policy responses are inevitably disjointed – across and between different levels of government. This is considered more pronounced in federated countries than other systems of government.
