Land sharing as an alternative to eviction: The Bangkok experience

In: Third world planning review: TWPR, Band 10, Heft 2, S. 107-127

Abstract

A unique approach to the resolution of slum eviction conflicts has evolved in Bangkok. Slum dwellers faced with imminent eviction have organised and bargained successfully for a share of the land they currently occupy, and landlords - usually after protracted negotiations - have agreed to sell or lease them the land. The land sharing process is described and explained, using five recent projects as examples. (DSE)
