    The Land Consolidation Act has recently been revised. The changes came
    into force on 1 July 2006 and 1 January 2007. The main changes in the Act are that
    the land consolidation court now has formal jurisdiction to handle land consolidation
    cases for all types of properties independent of location, unless particular cases are
    specifically removed from the court's jurisdiction in the Act. The Act provides for
    two new types of land consolidation cases in Section 2. The paper analyzes these
    different revisions.

    Slum upgrading programs are being used by national and city governments in many countries to improve the welfare of households living in slum and squatter settlements. These programs typically include a combination of improvements in neighborhood infrastructure, land tenure, and building quality. In this paper, the authors develop a dynamic general equilibrium model to compare the effectiveness of alternative slum upgrading instruments in a second-best setting with distortions in the land and credit markets.

    population, much through rural-urban migration. For this
    reason, central and city government has been increasingly

    December, 2008

    This paper reviews the evidence about the effects of urbanization and cities on productivity and economic growth in developing countries using a consistent theoretical framework. Just like in developed economies, there is strong evidence that cities in developing countries bolster productive efficiency. Regarding whether cities promote self-sustained growth, the evidence is suggestive but ultimately inconclusive. These findings imply that the traditional agenda of aiming to raise within-city efficiency should be continued.
