| Abstract | In an increasingly urbanizing world, access to land and housing in cities presents enormous development challenges. This paper explores the relationship between law and development by examining how law influences the regulatory frameworks governing formal access to land and housing processes. I argue that legislative reform affects the articulation of regulatory frameworks, which in turn differentially impact upon the efficiency and equitability of processes whereby the urban poor can formally access land and housing. Johannesburg is found to have more post-legislative-reform positive changes in these processes than Dar-es-Salaam, illustrating the developmental potential of law as a tool of urban change. |
