Chapter 1 Land, law and urban governance -- Chapter 2 The Quest for "Good Governance" in Urban Land Issues in Sub-Saharan Africa -- Chapter 3 The Fiscal City: Financing Africa's Urban Areas and Local Governments -- Chapter 4 Urban governance through religious authority in Touba, Senegal -- Chapter 5 The right to the city and South African jurisprudence -- Chapter 6 Urban land ownership and rights to sustainable development for women in Africa -- Chapter 7 Effectiveness of planning laws in sub-Saharan African cities -- Chapter 8 20 years of land management and land tenure education -- Chapter 9 Stocktaking Participatory and Inclusive Land Readjustment in Africa -- Chapter 10 Governance challenges in African urban fantasies -- Chapter 11 Land conflicts and ADR in Sub-Saharan Africa: The case of Botswana -- Chapter 12 Post-Apartheid Housing Delivery as a (Failed) Project of Remediation -- Chapter 13 Women, land and urban governance in colonial and post-colonial Zimbabwe -- Chapter 14 Urban land governance and corruption in Africa -- Chapter 15 Partnerships for successes in slum upgrading: governance and social change in Kibera, Nairobi -- Chapter 16 Urban resilience for achieving sustainability in Ghana -- Chapter 17 Food security and municipal powers in South Africa -- Chapter 18 The resilience of Informal Public Transport in Nigeria -- Chapter 19 Diagnosing the role of urban governance in disease outbreaks in Harare and Monrovia -- Chapter 20 African urban history, place-naming and place-making -- Chapter 21 Should Monrovian Communities Agree to Voluntary Slum Relocations: Land, Gender and Urban Governance -- Chapter 22 What next?.

Sub-Saharan Africa faces many development challenges, such as its size and diversity, rapid urban population growth, history of colonial exploitation, fragile states and conflicts over land and natural resources. This collection, contributed from different academic disciplines and professions, seeks to support the UN Habitat New Urban Agenda passed at Habitat III in Quito, Ecuador, in 2016. It will attract readers from urban specialisms in law, geography and other social sciences, and from professionals and policy-makers concerned with land use planning, surveying and governance. Among the topics addressed by the book are challenges to governance institutions: how international development is delivered, building land management capacity, funding for urban infrastructure, land-based finance, ineffective planning regulation, and the role of alternatives to courts in resolving boundary and other land disputes. Issues of rights and land titling are explored from perspectives of human rights law (the right to development, and women's rights of access to land), and land tenure regularization. Particular challenges of housing, planning and informality are addressed through contributions on international real estate investment, community participation in urban settlement upgrading, housing delivery as a partly failing project to remedy apartheid's legacy, and complex interactions between political power, money and land. Infrastructure challenges are approached in studies of food security and food systems, urban resilience against natural and man-made disasters, and informal public transport.
