Economic Analysis of Sub-Saharan Africa Real Estate Policies [Hardcover]

Investments are widely accepted as the matchless path to development. Real estate is as much a prerequisite for investment as are capital and labour.

Nonetheless, relative progress in ensuring that arrangements concerning real estate are compatible with desired magnitudes of investments in Africa remains far from satisfactory.

Treatment of real estate in the development literature remains tangential and incoherent. This volume explores why real estate policies in Africa have not worked well and examines how they can or should be more organised for efficient and successful outcomes.

This book is essential reading for all interested in development economics, real estate economics and African studies.
