Containment programmes can be recognised bypolicies and land use planning that:
- limit development of land outside the defined city boundary (“anti-sprawl”, green belt, growth boundary)
- encourage infill development and redevelopment inside the urban area.

Indeed, the containment paradigm is now enshrined in land use planning in many countries
Burton 2002, p. 219 in Angel 2012, p.41.
And Sprawl – has many negative connotations.Angel, Parent, Civco and Blei 2012, p. 5

Faced with such pressures, in reality and practicelocal government is incapable of protecting surrounding areas,
and informal land markets flourishbeyond the city boundary anyway
and continue to damage the environment

Angel et al. (2011) put forward an alternative paradigm:
In contexts where demographic expansion is still in full swing,a more realistic strategy
is at least minimal preparation for sustainable growth and expansion of cities– rather than to constrict and contain them.
Angel et al. 2011

‘muddling through’”

Furthermore“the reliance on western models of urban planning and containment
has resulted in a catastrophic failure to manage the growth of cities
in many low- and middle-income countries.”

Examples such policy:
Discourage sprawl by underinvesting in planning
a network of arterial roadswaterresevoirs
and water and sewer trunk lines
in the periphery
To make it difficult if not impossible for private sector to supply plots with adequate services.

But: preparation for urban expansion is important
not only from the perspectiveof those who must live in human misery for years,
nor merely from an ecological perspective.
It is also a pressing issue from a local government’sfinancial and socio-political point of view.

And, in a perverse way, a reactive approach (regularising and urbanising afterwards)
leads to a vicious cycle of informality in the land market.(the promise of regularisation, effect of that expectation on the land market)

Professionals express new hope that actually for the coming decades
local governments in developing countries and upcoming economomies
have the opportunity to be ahead of expansion,
with proactive policy frameworks.

Local/regional governments in developing countries and upcoming economies
face a huge challenge in terms of adequate and up to date data
on the Peri-Urban landmarket,
as a basis from which to make
anticipatory policy decisions.

Working definition for ‘anticipation’in own ongoing research:
Anticipation refers to the question how urbanization that is still forthcoming in the PUI
can be anticipated through analysing
the current spatial structures/patterns and land market dynamics,
and trying to predict the direction of this urban expansion.

Breimer, Tikvah 2015. [email protected]
![Page 36: (Informal) Urban Expansion - European Commission · 2016-06-03 · (Informal) Urban Expansion - Anticipation and Preparation. Tikvah Breimer 2015, May 28.

Thereby the biggest challenge is actuallyto understand the land markets,
actions and negotiations
that are taking place here
and being (en)able(d) to intervene into these dynamics.

Peri – Urban Interface (PUI)
The fringe of the citywhere both rural and urban features tend to coexist
in environmental, socio-economic
and institutional terms
and the landmarket is characterisedby high expectation on the land.

It is in the Peri-urban land market that we witness the highest speed of urbanization,
often in margins of the law and planning,(or even in administrative and jurisdictional limbo)
and with very high profitability.
It is because of this high levels of profitability, that we find very proactive actors here.

Guiding principles and ensuring the following up of these principles
through land instruments,
may be a lot more helpful than putting a lot of energy in a very detailed blue print
of a plan for these areas of expansion in the PUI.
Knowing the kind of land market we want will help us knowHow to undertake anticipatory action.

Most urgently the quest should be for preparatory/land market interventions
that ensure
for the poor:at least
access to affordable serviced land and access to employment opportunities/ the city
and for the city/region:permit and structure a sustainable growth and expansion of urban areas.

Some ideas seem to get buried in history,but surface again later
Peter Ward, already in 1983 – frustrated with the failure of site-and-services schemes
Started to enage and encourage a strategic and more imaginative approach
(studying the unique land tenure arrangements in Mexican cities)

He argued, we may find, that when we analyse informal settlement processes in far greater detail
paying attention to a specific city’s informal land market
There may be opportunities offered in the existing legal and fiscal structure
For intervention to achieve planning goals
In order to broaden the influence over low-cost land development processes.
- even in “informal interventions”to let informal developers/speculators contribute better to the city we want.

For teaching/training involved in exploring and compiling a menu of notable (preperatory/fiscal/legal)
land instruments that tackle concerns over informal land markets in the PUI,
coupled with international cases of how to implement them;
thereby drawing inspiration from the Central/Latin American region,both in the past – failed attempts or successes -
and in contemporary experimentation.
