Addressing land information requirements of the urban poor
1
The world is becoming urban with half of humanity now living in cities. Expert projections show that by 2030, some 60 per cent or about 5 billion of world’s population will live in urban areas. For many of the poorest countries, urban growth is almost synonymous with slum expansion. The same projections show that world’s population living in slums will reach 1.4 billion by 2020. Slums are informal, illegal and unplanned settlements and are strongly associated with urban poverty. It is in this context that UN-Habitat and Slum Dwellers International (SDI), in collaboration with Uganda’s Ministry of Land, Housing and Urban Development (MoLHUD), have initiated a joint project aimed at addressing the information requirements of the urban poor in the Municipality of Mbale.

The world is becoming urban with half of humanity now living in cities. Expert projections show that by 2030, some 60 per cent or about 5 billion of world’s population will live in urban areas. For many of the poorest countries, urban growth is almost synonymous with slum expansion. The same projections show that world’s population living in slums will reach 1.4 billion by 2020. Slums are informal, illegal and unplanned settlements and are strongly associated with urban poverty. It is in this context that UN-Habitat and Slum Dwellers International (SDI), in collaboration with Uganda’s Ministry of Land, Housing and Urban Development (MoLHUD), have initiated a joint project aimed at addressing the information requirements of the urban poor in the Municipality of Mbale.
