Effective Partnerships: Land, Secure Tenure and Financing Schemes by the Public and Private Sector
Day / Time Friday, June 23rd / 08:30 - 10:30
Event Description
Based upon the Global Campaign for Secure Tenure's concept of "removing Slums, not Slum Dwellers," BEYOND SHELTER-A HOME seeks to make a significant impact on the living and working conditions of the world's urban poor. Our experts discuss the impact of private property rights on freedom and security. Only by joining forces with a public-private sector coalition can we successfully overcome these challenges. As Gary Taylor states in "Real Property Markets - The Real Solution for Economic Development," starting with Hernando de Soto 's ideas, we must concentrate on how to elevate private property rights and real property markets on the development agenda and mobilize resources to help others establish lasting frameworks which support transparent market systems.
