Land Pooling / Land Readjustment: An Alternative to Compulsory Land Acquisition

This course is based on the World Bank’s “Land Pooling / Land Readjustment: An Alternative to Compulsory Land Acquisition”. This course will give an overall introduction to Land pooling or land readjustment which is gaining more and more acceptance as an alternative to land acquisition in the backdrop of massive infrastructure investments, especially in urban areas. It is often seen as a more inclusive and efficient approach compared to compulsory land acquisition, and a win-win situation in which the government can upgrade the neighborhood without having to rely on eminent domain, and the landowners can enjoy better living conditions and an increase in the value of their real asset.
