Managing Urban Spatial Growth : World Bank Support to Land Administration, Planning, and Development
Cities will be home to 2 billion new residents by 2045, and the pressure to develop land in and around cities is growing. This will pose a great challenge to lower‐income cities since they tend to grow through slums and other informal settlements....

| description |
Cities will be home to 2 billion new
residents by 2045, and the pressure to develop land in and
around cities is growing. This will pose a great challenge
to lower‐income cities since they tend to grow through slums
and other informal settlements. Slum residents have
inadequate and inequitable access to public services and
economic opportunities, and on account of the living
conditions in these settlements, they are also more
vulnerable to diseases, especially highly communicable ones,
such as COVID-19. In 2014, an estimated 880 million urban
residents lived in slum conditions, compared with 792
million in 2000 (UN 2019). This number is likely to keep
growing unless urban spatial expansion is planned and
managed well. To achieve the Sustainable Development Goals,
development institutions will need to support clients in
managing urban spatial growth. An integrated approach
towards land administration, land use planning, and land
development – three major determinants of urban spatial
growth – will be key. This evaluation offers IEG’s first
systematic assessment of the World Bank’s support to the
management of urban spatial growth. It answers the question:
To what extent has World Bank engagement been relevant and
effective towards supporting its clients in managing urban
spatial growth through land administration, land‐use
planning, and land development? |
