LAND AND THE NEW URBAN AGENDA Land underpins all the key aspects of the NEW URBAN AGENDA because it is a key driver for inclusive and sustainable urban development

Habitat for Humanity International applauds members of the Bureau of the Preparatory Committee, the Habitat III Secretariat, Member States and the engagement and dedication of all Habitat III stakeholders in creating the Zero Draft of the New Urban Agenda. Habitat III is a critical opportunity to reinvigorate global commitment to sustainable development and this draft sets us on the right path. The New Urban Agenda must: 1) emphasize adequate and affordable housing, 2) prioritize security of tenure, 3) promote community-led development, and 4) set specific and accountable measures.

This manual documents existing Haitian land laws and customary practices related to the legal sale of land, facilitating a consistent and transparent process that supports tenure security for Haiti's residents and ultimately Haiti's economic growth.

As the world is urbanizing, many cities are grappling with a population that is growing rapidly, thereby increasing demand for land and housing. This pressure on land and housing markets often is exacerbated by inappropriate or inadequate policies. The result is a supply of well-located land and housing that falls well short of demand and the proliferation of poorly serviced informal settlements, many of which are located far from jobs, city services and amenities.
