    China, India

    The early development strategies of both China and India were urban- and industry-focused, discounting the importance of rural development. Despite sweeping reforms in both countries, the urban bias and subsequent spatial disparities still exist today. In order to reduce poverty and increase growth, developing countries need to correct these spatial disparities through a set of policies that take advantage of the synergies and linkages between rural and urban areas.

    Pakistan

    This report shows that after a decade of
    moderate growth but little or no long term change in rural
    poverty in Pakistan, agricultural output, rural incomes,
    rural poverty and social welfare indicators all showed
    marked improvements between 2001-02 and 2004-05. However,
    longer term trends suggest there is little reason for
    complacency. The agricultural GDP per capita growth rate
    (1999- 2000 to 2004-05) was only 0.3 percent per year; rural

    This book, Financing cities, emphasized
    case studies on different topics to look at the interactions
    of a range of variables and factors and to see how they fit
    together. Rather than require each case to follow the same
    format, the authors have structured their papers around the
    issues that matter most from their perspective in addressing
    the topic in hand. The first part of this book presents case
    studies describing the framework established at the national

    India

    In India, land continues to be of
    enormous economic, social, and symbolic relevance. The main
    purpose of this report is to review new empirical evidence
    on land administration and land policy, as well as the
    possible interaction between the two, to derive policy
    conclusions. The empirical basis for the discussion of land
    administration is provided by a review of land records,
    survey and settlement, and land registration in 14 states.

    India

    In India, land continues to be of
    enormous economic, social, and symbolic relevance. The way
    in which land can be accessed and its ownership documented
    is at the core of the livelihood of the large majority of
    the poor, especially in rural and tribal areas and
    determines the extent to which increasingly scarce natural
    resources are managed. Land policies and administration are
    critical determinants of the transaction cost associated
