Abstract

Abstract This entry focuses on how the problem of land and housing tenure has been addressed by different scholars and academic traditions. Revisiting the inputs of critical urban studies, the entry presents private property as a key aspect that needs to be considered when analyzing land and housing tenure within the capitalist city. In addition, Latin American urban research has shown how the characteristics of cities in this region, caught in the tension between development and dependent capitalism, is inevitably related to urban informality while addressing the topic of urban land tenure, ownership, and tenure security.
