    Land Registration and Property Rights in Iraq
    Reports & Research
    January, 2005
    Iraq

    Land registration and property rights in Iraq have deep historical foundations reaching back to the Hammurabic period. However, the current land registration system owes more to the 400-year Ottoman occupation of Iraq and the subsequent interval under the British mandate.

This was done through the allocation of land to influential individuals who supported the incumbent regime.

    Vertical cities as a solution for land scarcity: the tallest public housing development in Singapore
    Peer-reviewed publication
    June, 2004
    Singapore

    Singapore, whose land area is approximately 660km2, is one of the most densely populated cities in the world. In the 2001 Concept Plan, the Urban Redevelopment Authority estimated that Singapore would need 800000 more homes or 6400 ha of land to cater to a projected population of 5.5 million. Considering other competing demands for land resources, the 2001 Concept Plan has suggested constructing taller buildings. Thus, in August 2001, the Housing and Development Board initiated the development of a new 50-storeys public housing design.
