In today’s urbanizing world, the issues at stake in cities are numerous and complex. UN-HABITAT has been addressing them over the past 30 years by publishing a wide range of information material for researchers, decision makers in central and local governments, and civil society organizations including those at the grass-root level.

This catalogue features over 150 key publications, arranged by theme with their respective bibliographic data and abstracts. Also included are all backlist titles, titles available in electronic format on our online catalogue at www.unhabitat.org, and titles in official United Nations Languages other than English. The catalogue also gives a flavour of forthcoming publications on page 5 of the catalogue.

In addition to our specifically themed publications, UN-HABITAT’s flagship publications, namely, the Global Reports on Human Settlements, the State of the World Cites and our new quarterly journal Urban World cover a broad spectrum of issues in urban development, governance, land and housing as well as water and sanitation in cities. Therefore, these publications will be found under the general section as well as in the relevant themes.

UN-HABITAT is keen for our partners to have easy access to information that is relevant to their work and our common goal of improving human settlements.

Executive Summary of Structure Plans for Awka, Onitsha and Nnewi and Environs 2009-2027

Anambra, with its population of over 4 million people in 2006, is the second most urbanized state in Nigeria, having 62% of its total population living in urban areas. Unfortunately, past Governments since creation of the State in 1991 have failed to adopt city development strategies for the many fast growing cities in the State

to cope with rapid urbanization. Following decades of neglect and poor urban governance, the profiles of these cities indicate that they are characterized by decayed inner and suburban sprawling slums, inadequate sanitation, uncontrolled street trading, mountains of uncollected wastes, overcrowded and congested transport systems and roads with poor drainages, noise and air pollution. It was for the purpose of reversing this ugly and undesirable trend that the Government of His Excellency Peter Obi forged a viable technical cooperation agreement with the UN-HABITAT in 2007 to provide technical assistance in the preparation of structure plans for three cities, Awka, Nnewi and Onitsha.Pages: 100, Year: 20091153/09E, ISBN: 978-92-1-132119-7Price: USD 25

Human Settlements Finance and Policies: Role of Government in the Housing Market- The Experiences from Asia

The diversity of Asia provides unique opportunities for examining the effectiveness of different policies and instruments. The Asian financial crisis reveals our ignorance of market operations and makes us to rethink the Asian economic environment in which the markets operate and the performance of particular sectoral

markets. Housing markets are very important areas. Better policy design relies on better understanding of housing markets. The impact of sub-prime housing mortgage lending in USA on the global capital market and global economy further illustrates the importance of housing issues. This report examines the operation and performance of housing markets and particularly the impact of government intervention on the pergormance of housing markets in Asia. It presents different approaches and instruments used by different countries to deal with similar housing issues. The Asian experiences and practices can provide inspiration for other parts of the world to design effective and equitable housing instruments and policies.Pages: 130, Year: 20071013/08E, ISBN: 978-92-1-131997-2Price: USD 10

Secure Land Rights for All

This publication demonstrates how secure land rights are particularly important in helping to reverse three types of phenomena: gender discrimination; social exclusion of vulnerable groups; and wider social and economic inequalities linked to inequitable and insecure rights to land. It argues that policymakers

should adopt and implement the continuum of land rights because, no single form of tenure can meet the different needs of all social groups. However, a range of land tenure options enables both women and men from all social groups to meet their changing needs over time. This study can assist policy-makers to understand and apply the practical ways in which people’s land rights can be made more secure, while at the same time improve land policies as a basis for the better, fairer and more sustainable urban and rural development.Pages: 47, Year: 2008HS/978/08E, ISBN: 978-92-1-131961-3Price: USD 10

Housing and Property Rights - In Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Serbia and Montenegro

The hardships that have confronted the people of former Yugoslavia throughout the past decade have been unprecedented in post-World War II Europe. The political and ethnic conflicts of the 1990s have affected all areas of social, economic and political life, and have had a particularly pronounced

impact on the housing and property sectors. Indeed, the region faces an array of severe difficulties related to housing and property issues. These include more than a million refugees and displaced persons who are still unable or unwilling to return to their homes. They also include a dysfunctional housing market in most countries, systematic discrimination against various ethnic groups, in particular the Roma, and an expanding informal housing sector. Many of these problems are associated with the sudden shift to a market-based economy. The privatisation of public housing and the loss of tenure and tenancy rights have rendered many people and families with limited and low-incomes more vulnerable to sub-standard living conditions, evictions and homelessness.Pages: 169, Year: 2005HAB2130, ISBN: 92-1-131784-3Price: USD 17

Shared Tenure Options for Women

Security of Tenure is one of the cornerstones of Millennium Development Goal 7 on the improvement of the lives of slum dwellers, and is the main focus of the Global Campaign for Secure Tenure. In most countries, a range of land rights and tenure types exists, which forms a continuum (from informal to

formal). Whether tenure is informal or formal, it is usually understood, recorded and/or registered in the name of men, leaving women’s secure tenure often dependent on their relations with their in-laws. As women’s access to land and housing is often through their husbands or fathers, they may lose such access after widowhood, divorce, desertion, or male migration. While collective forms of tenure also include women, the decision-making processes are often dominated by men, excluding women from the important decisions regarding the land and housing.Pages: 92, Year: 2005HS/883/06E, ISBN: 92-1-131869-6Price: USD 15

It also presents an overview the three main stages on national campaign implementation.


Handbook on Best Practices, Security of Tenure and Access to Land - Implementation of the Habitat Agenda

This handbook identifies recent innovations at the global level in the field of land management and pinpoints land tenure trends. It shows how governments, including local government and other stakeholders, are coming to grips with implementing the land related principles enshrined in the Habitat

Agenda at a practical level in the cities and towns. The work can help to assess at the global level the tools, methods and approaches that exist for the implementation of the Global Campaign for Secure Tenure, and to identify the gaps, blockages and problems that still need to be addressed.Pages: 110, Year: 2003HS/588/99E, ISBN: 92-1-131446-1Price: USD 17

Rental Housing: An essential option for the urban poor in developing countries

Demonstrates that most arguments leading to the current bias against rental housing are highly flawed. Argues for more tenure-neutral housing policies, and urges governments to modify regulatory frameworks, develop credit programmes and other forms of assistance to support housing

production, with a view to creating more rental housing and to improve the existing stock.Pages: 251, Year: 2003HS/695/03E, ISBN: 92-1-131687-1Price: USD 20

Housing Rights Legislation

The report illustrates that effective constitutional and legislative guarantees of the right to adequate housing are not only realistic but have already been adopted successfully in a number of countries with diverse legal, social, economic and cultural systems. The country examples and experiences presented here provide information

and tools for policy makers and practitioners on model legislation that identifies specific components of the right to adequate housing.Pages: 124, Year: 2002HS/638/01E, ISBN: 92-131-628-6Price: USD 17

Rights and Reality

Women’s equal rights to land, housing and property are recognized in international law and are translated into national law by an increasing number of governments. However, the implementation of these rights into reality on the ground remains an enormous challenge. This book examines the role that women’s

organizations in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda have played in affecting recent law reforms, and provides a detailed analysis of national legislation and policies on land, housing and inheritance in these three countries. It also describes mechanisms used by civil society organizations and paralegal networks to help implement women’s equal rights at community level. A historical background of the region and an overview of international human rights instruments are included. The study concludes with specific recommendations, which could help translate women’s rights to reality.Pages: 195, Year: 2002HS/667/02E, ISBN: 92-1-131663-4Price: USD 17

The UN-HABITAT Water and Sanitation Trust Fund Annual Report 2008

Although sanitation has been hailed as “the most important medical advance since 1840”, over 2.5 billion people – most of them in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia – lack access to basic sanitation. The world is not on track to meet the 2015 Millennium Development Goal (MDG) for sanitation. For the drinking water

MDG, progress is better, but the situation still critical in some regions. Meanwhile in the slums of cities such as Nairobi, Dar - es - Salaam and Mumbai, the daily reality is an extended struggle to find water, a place to defecate and a convenient location to dump or burn one’s rubbish.Pages: 40, Year: 20081121/09E, ISBN: 978-92-1-132087-9Price: USD 5

Guidelines on Revolving Funds for Community Managed Water Supply Schemes and Construction of Individual Household Toilets in Urban Slums in Madhya Pradesh, India

With rapid urban development, the gap between demand and supply in the water and sanitation sector is widening, imposing stress on the basic infrastructure facilities by the urban local bodies, which often fails to address the growing demand. In the process, the urban poor suffer the most and are forced to live under

unhygienic conditions in slums and shanty areas, lacking in basic amenities. The efficient use of existing resources and community participation are imperative to achieve increased water and sanitation coverage. The problem is more predominant in Asian countries who are ill equipped to provide the needed safe water and sanitation to their growing population. The levels of investments in the sector within the region are quite inadequate to bridge the widening demand supply gap and to extend services to low income and the needy population. External investments into the sector are inadequate. Most governments are increasingly becoming aware of the significance of domestic mobilization of funds.Pages: 45, Year: 2006HS/874/06 EPrice: USD 10

Attaining the MDGs overall will depend to a large extent on

how we can strengthen the prospects of local economic development and improve the living and working conditions of small towns and cities which, in turn, depend on access to clean water and improved sanitation. This publication has a pivotal role to play in global and local thinking on service provision, and a critical contribution to the road map to meeting the MDGs.Pages: 200, Year: 2006HS/816/06E, ISBN: 92-1-131814-9Price: USD 40

Water and Sanitation in the World’s Cities: Local Action for Global Goals

The world’s governments agreed at the Millennium Summit to halve the number of people who lack access to safe water, mainly in the world’s cities, by 2015. With rapidly growing urban populations the challenge is immense. Water and Sanitation in the World’s Cities is a comprehensive and authoritative assessment of the

problems and how they can be addressed. This influential publication by the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-HABITAT) sets out in detail the scale of inadequate provision of water and sanitation. It describes the impacts on health and economic performance, showing the potential gains of remedial action; it analyses the proximate and underlying causes of poor provision and identifies information gaps affecting resource allocation; it outlines the consequences of further deterioration; and it explains how resources and institutional capacities – public, private and community – can be used to deliver proper services through integrated water resource management.Pages: 273, Year: 2003HS/682/03E, ISBN: 1-84407-004-2Price: USD 25

Housing Finance Mechanisms in India

India is home to over 1.1 billion people. With about one in every sixth person in the world living in India, housing perforce assumes significant importance. Successive Indian governments have regarded housing as a primary need of the people. The need to provide affordable housing has been the

reason behind State interventions in the sector. Housing policies, however, tended to be framed by the government from a social rather than economic perspective. Despite explicit recognition of the need for housing, dedicated programmes have only benefited from low public spending. Housing and subsidies have been largely synonymous with each other, hence a tendency to view housing finance from the angle of the government’s cash budget, rather than as a developmental activity with tremendous spin-offs to the economy.Pages: 69, Year: 2008HS/988/08E, ISBN: 978-92-1-131970-5Price: USD 10

Volume 1: Countries with Land Records: Handbook on Post-Conflict Land Administration and Peacebuilding

Throughout history, conflicts have been waged over land. Confrontations over territory, border disputes, occupation of the territory of one State by another, or grievances stemming from inequitable access to land invariably have dramatic consequences for human settlements. Never before has this been truer than with today’s

very different types of conflict which are increasingly taking place within nations. Many of these conflicts have direct effects on the control over land and the rights of people relating to land and cause innumerable denials of housing, land and property (HLP) rights. These are human rights under international human rights law, and are increasingly recognised as such within the domestic laws of all countries by formal, customary and other national legal structures. To one degree or another, these rules enable most individuals to avail themselves of some degree of rights over particular land parcels, whether regulated officially under statutory rules or governed by customary land arrangements.Pages: 102, Year: 2007HS/945/07E, ISBN: 978-92-113-1921-7Price: USD 15

Crime in Nairobi: Results of a City wide Victim Survey

This publication is part of the Safer Nairobi project, funded by UNDP, which is working towards a city-wide crime prevention strategy. This survey is a diagnosis on both crime itself and insecurity surrounding crime in Nairobi. A fundamental requirement of a prevention-oriented approach to crime is the availability of extensive and

reliable data and to this end the UN-HABITAT Victimisation Survey of Nairobi is the most comprehensive undertaken to date, being administered in two discrete phases between May and August 2001. Throughout the study over 10,500 ordinary residents of Nairobi contributed their effort by offering opinions and attitudes to a number of different issues concerning safety and crime.Pages: 131, Year: 2002HS/661/02E, ISBN: 92-1-131614-6Price: USD 5

Planning Sustainable Cities - Global Report on Human Settlements 2009

Planning Sustainable Cities reviews recent urban planning practices and approaches, discusses constraints and conflicts therein, and identifies innovative approaches that are more responsive to current challenges of urbanization. It notes that traditional approaches to urban planning (particularly in developing countries) have largely failed to

promote equitable, efficient and sustainable human settlements and to address twenty-first century challenges, including rapid urbanization, shrinking cities and ageing, climate change and related disasters, urban sprawl and unplanned peri-urbanization, as well as urbanization of poverty and informality. It concludes that new approaches to planning can only be meaningful, and have a greater chance of succeeding, if they effectively address all of these challenges, are participatory and inclusive, as well as linked to contextual socio-political processes.

State of the World’s Cities 2008/2009 - Harmonious Cities

Half of humanity now lives in cities, and within two decades, nearly 60 per cent of the world’s people will be urban dwellers. Urban growth is most rapid in the developing world, where cities gain an average of 5 million residents every month. As cities grow in size and population, harmony among the spatial, social

and environmental aspects of a city and between their inhabitants becomes of paramount importance. This harmony hinges on two key pillars: equity and sustainability.Pages: 224, Year: 2008HS/1031/08E, ISBN: 978-92-1-132010-7Price: USD 40

The State of the African Cities Report 2008

With rapidly increasing urban populations, cities in Africa are faced with enormous challenges and will have to find ways to facilitate by 2015 urban services, livelihoods and housing for more than twice as many urban dwellers than it has today. A worrying trend with the African urbanization process is that it is

rooted in poverty rather than an industrialization-induced socio-economic transition as in other major world urban regions. Africa’s escalating urban problems have received less attention than warranted and now, at the dawn of Africa’s urban age, these need to be addressed.Pages: 206, Year: 2008HS/1036/08E, ISBN: 978-92-1-132015-2Price: USD 25

Enhancing Urban Safety and Security - Global Report on Human Settlements 2007

Enhancing Urban Safety and Security addresses three major threats to the safety and security of cities: crime and violence; insecurity of tenure and forced evictions; and natural and human-made disasters. It analyses worldwide trends with respect to each of these threats, paying particular attention to their underlying causes

and impacts, as well as to the good policies and best practices that have been adopted at the city, national and international levels in order to address these threats. The report adopts a human security perspective, concerned with the safety and security of people rather than of states, and highlights issues that can be addressed through appropriate urban policy, planning, design and governance.Pages: 448, Year: 2007HS/943/07E, ISBN: 978-1-84407-475-4Price: USD 50

This is the second UN-HABITAT global report on Water and Sanitation in the World´s Cities. This publication looks at small urban centres which tend to be overlooked, although they are the first tier markets and service providers for rural enterprise and development. Attaining the MDGs overall will depend to a large extent on how

we can strengthen the prospects of local economic development and improve the living and working conditions of small towns and cities which, in turn, depend on access to clean water and improved sanitation. This publication has a pivotal role to play in global and local thinking on service provision, and a critical contribution to the road map to meeting the MDGs.Pages: 200, Year: 2006HS/816/06E, ISBN: 92-1-131814-9Price: USD 40

State of the World’s Cities 2006/7

It is generally assumed that urban populations are healthier, more literate and more prosperous than rural populations. However, UN-HABITAT’s State of the World’s Cities Report 2006/7 has broken new ground by showing that the urban poor suffer from an urban penalty: Slum dwellers in developing countries are as badly off

if not worse off than their rural relatives.Pages: 204, Year: 2006HS/814/06E, ISBN: 92/1/131811-4Price: USD 35


Financing Urban Shelter presents the first global assessment of housing finance systems, placing shelter and urban development challenges within the overall context of macroeconomic policies. The report describes and analyses housing finance conditions and trends in all regions of the world, including formal housing finance

mechanisms, microfinance and community funding, highlighting their relevance to the upgrading of slums. Recent policy developments in the area of shelter finance are discussed at the international and national levels. The report also examines policy directions that could be taken to strengthen shelter finance systems, particularly with respect to realizing the Millennium Declaration target of improving the lives of slum dwellers.Pages: 246, Year: 2005HS/752/05E, ISBN: 92-1-131739-8Price: USD 45

State of the World’s Cities 2004/2005 - Globalization and Urban Culture

The State of the World’s Cities 2004/2005 charts the progress and the challenges we face in this rapidly urbanising world. With contributions from some of the world’s leading urban scholars, writers and experts, this report carries extensive examples, illustrations and facts that are of use to experts and non-

experts alike. First published in 2001 and now published every two years, this flagship report of UN-HABITAT represents a further milestone in the efforts of the United Nations to gather, promote, and disseminate information for policy makers and the public at large.Pages: 193, Year: 2004HS/726/04E, ISBN: 92-1-131705-3Price: USD 39

The world’s governments agreed at the Millennium Summit to halve the number of people who lack access to safe water, mainly in the world’s cities, by 2015. With rapidly growing urban populations the challenge is immense. Water and Sanitation in the World’s Cities is a comprehensive and authoritative assessment of the

problems and how they can be addressed. This influential publication by the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-HABITAT) sets out in detail the scale of inadequate provision of water and sanitation. It describes the impacts on health and economic performance, showing the potential gains of remedial action; it analyses the proximate and underlying causes of poor provision and identifies information gaps affecting resource allocation; it outlines the consequences of further deterioration; and it explains how resources and institutional capacities – public, private and community – can be used to deliver proper services through integrated water resource management.Pages: 273, Year: 2003HS/682/03E, ISBN: 1-84407-004-2Price: USD 25

Slums of the World: The face of urban poverty in the new millennium?

The current paper presents the results of a first global enumeration of slums at the country level. The data are analyzed and comparisons established at sub-regional and regional levels while trying to understand what is happening globally. This document is the culmination of attempts to come to grips with changes in the

way we measure slums, starting by providing an agreed universal definition of this type of settlements and a clear methodological approach. The preliminary estimations presented in this document represent a baseline year level that permits the preparation of quantitative estimates for future trends. By providing the methodology and the quantitative knowledge base, the document strives to enhance the use of information on urban poverty as a powerful policy-making tool to help induce the desired structural changes for poverty alleviation.Pages: 90, Year: 2003HS/692/03E, ISBN: 92-1-131683-9Price: USD 12

The Special Session of the General Assembly for an Overall Review and Appraisal of the implementation of the Habitat Agenda, known as Istanbul+5, held between 6-8 June 2001 in New York introduced in the General Assembly a new forum for debate. The Thematic Committee broadened participation beyond national

government delegates and focused on concrete experience gained since 1996. In thematic terms, the Committee was sub-divided into four sessions dealing with the main issues addressed in the Habitat Agenda: shelter and services; environmental management; urban governance; eradication of poverty. The lessons drawn by the Thematic Committee from the 16 case studies under consideration are quite consistent with the “Declaration on Cities and other Human Settlements in the New Millennium” negotiated in parallel by the Committee of the Whole of the Special session.Pages: 51, Year: 2001HS/631/01E, ISBN: 92-1-131619-7Price: USD 10
