Land Administration for Economic Development

The Asia Pacific region has distinguished itself in the past decade as the world’s most rapidly developing region. Cities are expanding and new ones being developed in order to facilitate accommodate population growth and to generate new sources of income. Over the years, the role of land administration has been observed to evolve into addressing more global issues involving environmental management, sustainable development and community growth. An efficient land administration and management practices has become crucial to facilitate better planning, licensing and valuation of land that subsequently lead to economic development of a country. The Exchange Forum on Land Administration for Economic Development will serve as an exclusive platform facilitating dialogues between Land Authorities in Asia and the industry to achieve the following:

Sharing of experience and knowledge in land administration practices through different country representatives in the region;
Identifying the challenges commonly faced in the region and discussion on ways to meet them;
Formulating the best land administration system that fits the region specifically towards economic development interest.
