Countries in South-East Asia are experiencing rapid urbanisation and Land Readjustment is one of the potential methods of land development that could help solve some of the urban problems such as urban sprawl and inadequate infrastructure. While Land Readjustment is beneficial, it is often very complex particularly for developing countries to undertake due to the weak institutional system and also lack of technology.

While Vietnam's reforms provided some of the weakest legal private property rights amongst the transitions countries, cities like Ho Chi Minh City have booming domestic real estate markets. Interestingly, while most properties in 2001 did not have legal title, those on the market did advertise a variety of property rights claims. Employing a hedonic price model to analyse the pattern of prices at which sellers offer properties in Ho Chi Minh City, this study examines how this market values property rights.

The major problem in Africa today understands the modern concept of town planning. Just as was true in Europe in the 18th and 19th centuries, in Africa today physical planning is regarded as a technique for the amelioration of the evils of urban development. Insanitary conditions, congestions, un-economic layout of streets, the inefficient use of public utilities or the absence of adequate sanitary facilities "brought about the enactment of public health laws, plumbing and building codes and regulations which controlled land-use.

L'urbanisation croissante a eu des conséquences profondes sur l’économie des pays africains et sur la vie des citadins. Le développement des grandes villes, notamment, est à l’origine d'un certain nombre de problèmes comme l'existence d'infrastructures et de services peu fiables, insuffisants et médiocres. Des études ont montré que dans des pays comme le Burkina Faso, l’Ethiopie, la Sierra Leone et la Somalie, un nombre croissant de citadins ont un accès au logement, au transport, à l’eau, a l’éducation et à des services de santé adéquats et/ou acceptables.
