"In today\'s context, the basic objective of urban development is equitable distribution of resources, particularly: land, infrastructure, services, employment opportunities and housing. Settlement development thus involves assembly, planning, regulation, consolidation and sub-division of land. The policies and coordination of activities of land development and distribution become basic and important components of development.

This book provides an insight into the complex issues involved in land policy and partnership management, on which the entire superstructure of urban development rests, with special reference to India. It presents a critical assessment of the various aspects of ongoing land policies and offers the clues for evolving new policies, paradigms and practices." (jacket)
