This lecture by Geoffrey Payne (G.Payne Ass.), as part of UN-Habitat's "Global Urban Lecture" series, provides a conceptual and methodological framework for assessing the complex range of tenure categories and sub-categories that exist in rapidly expanding urban areas in order to identify options for intervention by governments or international development agencies. It also provides a review of common policies, particularly titling programmes and a range of pragmatic alternatives as a basis for achieving incremental improvements.

Note: Min. 0 - 9:00 of this video (which opens at the bottom of the page) concentrate on different forms of tenure.
