Land, Innovation, and Social Good

The administration of land tenure, value, and use has changed significantly over recent decades. Change has been driven by efforts to better balance rural and urban land use, improve recognition of previously informal land rights in certain geographical regions, and to acknowledge the social and cultural values relating to land. These changes have been underpinned by the new wave of technological innovations that have expanded the ways and means of performing land administration. Running parallel to these seemingly positive developments are the land-related societal problems including land tenure insecurity, food shortages, slum formation, and environmental degradation. This edited volume brings together articles spanning innovative approaches to securing land tenure, land valuation, and the planning of land use, with the aim of deepening the understanding of the nexus between societal challenges and land, and further enriching the knowledge on how current technological advances can be used to meet the societal challenges in the area of land administration.
