The concept behind land sharing is that the landowner and the land occupants (squatters or tenants) reach an agreement whereby the land owner develops the economically most attractive part of the plot and the dwellers build houses on the other part with full or limited land ownership. Land-sharing offers several advantages as governments are finding it increasingly difficult to find land for sites-and-services and other public housing schemes in locations near income-generating activities, and eviction is increasingly becoming an unacceptable method to clear land for development projects. Through land-sharing both parties gain: the landowner can obtain the most desired land and the occupants can continue living in the area, with secured tenure.

  • The concept behind land sharing is that the landowner and the land occupants (squatters or tenants) reach an agreement whereby the land owner develops the economically most attractive part of the plot and the dwellers build houses on the other part with full or limited land ownership. Land-sharing offers several advantages as governments are finding it increasingly difficult to find land for sites-and-services and other public housing schemes in locations near income-generating activities, and eviction is increasingly becoming an unacceptable method to clear land for development projects. Through land-sharing both parties gain: the landowner can obtain the most desired land and the occupants can continue living in the area, with secured tenure. The land occupants base their right to the land on possession. It is common in many rural and traditional societies that occupants obtain a right to the land by living on it and the claim on the land gets stronger the longer the land is occupied. Furthermore, urban development creates land values as a result of investments by the public sector rather than by the landowner. Occupants can, therefore, be considered as having a certain right to these increased land values as well
