Urban Land Markets Learning Materials Collection

The Urban Land Markets Programme (Southern Africa) took relevant outputs from all its research projects and translated them into learning material suitable for use by academics, experts, facilitators and teachers.

The materials are each 10 pages in length and provide a summary of key research issues, as well as detailed information around the findings and recommendations covered in the research reports on which they are based.

The learning materials were released in batches according to the years in which the research was done. A Facilitator's Guide is available for each set of learning materials.
